	Cool Things, Velocipede, Kansas State Historical Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Velocipedes allowed them to cover the miles rapidly while keeping them close to the track to better examine its joints and the underlying gravel bed.
		Unlike the more common hand car which sped across the tracks through hand pumping, the velocipede was made to move through a combination of pushing and pulling its handles forward and backward while also pedaling in the manner of a bicycle.
		This particular velocipede was donated to the Kansas Museum of History by Charles Goebel, an avid railroad collector and one-time employee of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.

	Velocipede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The velocipede was the predecessor of the bicycle, introduced in the Victorian age.
		Later 2 wheel velocipedes had increasingly large front wheels, directly driven by bicycle pedals, and a smaller back wheel - these leading to the penny farthing.
		Invented in the 1800s in France, the velocipede was sometimes called the boneshaker.

	Velocipede
		Velocipede was a solid north country runner who won two cups and several other good races, despite a leg injury which often troubled him and eventually led to his retirement from the turf.
		Another Velocipede daughter who did well on the turf was CAROLINA (1836, from Nanette by Partisan), who ran second to Deception in the 1839 Oaks; she did not produce anything in the stud.
		Other good producing Velocipede daughters included ROCBANA (1831) and HER MAJESTY(1832), from the Walton daughter, Miss Garforth; Dido, Meteor's dam, was also a daughter of Miss Garforth, all of them bred by Armitage at Ainderby.

		This velocipede is nearly identical to the 1868 velocipede made in Boston that is also in the collection.

		It was in Paris during the late 1860s that a renaissance of the two-wheeled velocipede, now with pedals on the front wheel, took place: "le velocipede bicycle," as the French said, i.e.
		One reaction of inventors to the front-pedal velocipede was, "Why not drive the rear wheel?" Several designs were published, even using a chain, or Thomas McCall's velocipede of 1869 with pedal rods throwing cranks on the rear wheel.
		While on foot-driven velocipedes, women had been seen only in England (where they also could ice-skate themselves), famous women like actress Sarah Bernhardt were now riding in France, and circus performers everywhere.

	America on the Move \| Velocipede
		No marks of identification have been found on this velocipede, yet the general construction very strongly resembles that of the 1879 Shire, while the steering head is very much like that of an early Columbia.
		This velocipede has a frame that consists of two wooden members attached to an iron fitting at the front, a broad wooden mudguard, and a steel single-leaf spring reminiscent of the lower part of the nearly vertical wooden brace of the Shire velocipede.
		The front fork of this velocipede, unlike the Shire, is of iron, having an open head that accommodates a long steering spindle.

		The railway velocipede shown in the accompanying illustration is an adaptation of the design of the safety bicycle to track service, the machine having a, flanged tire on the front wheel and a blind tire on the rear wheel, and being held upright by a
		It is interesting to note that a similar application of the old-fashioned bicycle, with one high wheel and one small rear wheel, was tried some time ago on the Transcaspian Railway, of Russia, the wheels having grooved tires and the machine being supported by an arm carrying a guide wheel running on the opposite rail.
		It will be used on all this Company's hand and push cars, instead of the plate center wheel illustrated in our issue of May 12, 1892, and we are informed that several hundred wheels of this new pattern are now in service and have proved very satisfactory to the railways using them.

	Dover Museum Information Resources
		Willard Sawyer, velocipede manufacturer, is a figure of national importance in the history of cycling and has been called 'the first truly professional maker of man-powered vehicles'.
		Sawyer's early machines were as impractical vehicles as other velocipedes, still then largely experimental and usually made as one-offs or to order as a side-line of flsmiths, iron-founders, carriage builders, and carpenters.
		The virtues of the Sawyer velocipede were extolled by many, including J.C. Skeffington who rode his machine home from Dover to Brighton in 1858 and then toured southern England, covering 526 miles in 20 days.

		Unlike the hobby horse and the velocipede, the frame was entirely made out of metal.
		The pedals were still attached to the front of the front wheel which became larger and larger when manufacturers realized that the bigger the wheel the faster you would be able to ride with minimum force.
