This velocipede is a bit like a bike without pedals. Actor Buster Keaton rode it in the 1924 silent film "Our Hospitality." In the movie, a young man (Keaton) finds himself in the middle of a long-standing family feud. In one scene, Keaton is seen riding this velocipede, which was built specifically for the film to resemble an early 1800s dandy horse or "gentleman's hobby horse," a pedal-less bicycle. Keaton himself donated the velocipede to the Smithsonian in 1924.
Nicknamed "The Great Stone Face" for his trademark deadpan facial expressions, Buster Keaton is considered one of the greatest screen comedians of all time. Keaton started his career in the entertainment industry as a child vaudevillian, performing with his parents.

He continued working into the sound era and even made appearances on television, however the peak of his career was firmly rooted in the silent era. ?‍♀️?‍♀️??? However you get around this weekend, have a blast!
