"A John Bull rides a 'Velocimanipede', see No. 13411, round the basin in Bushey Park, which is realistically depicted, with its baroque centre-piece. He is a fat 'cit' mopping his forehead; his wig and hat are on a stick fixed in front of the steering-bar. On the seat, labelled 'J.B', his fat wife sits holding a fan, her arm round a thin little girl holding a doll. In the dickey behind (right) is a little boy working the handles which turn the back wheel. In the background across the water is a similar machine, on a tiny scale, followed by a dandy (see No. 13029) on his 'hobby' (see No. 13399)."--British Museum online catalogue
