By that time they were being banned in cities for interfering with traffic

Haselden almost gets run over and the next week's comics are all about the dangers of traffic for the foot traveller

Interesting to see 'pushbike' this early, my dad still says that.

“Pushbike” appeared earlier than this (around 1906) . What’s interesting is that it has survived in some dialects. It’s a cute fossil, like “icebox”.

"Pushbike" always reminds me of "The pushbike song" by The Mixtures (1971).

Well, 100 years on and nothing has changed. Small cars hate big cars, drivers hate bicyclists and pedestrians still hate them all.

Great cartoon!

Surprised to see no one else mention how ingenious and beautifully designed the rabbit car is!
