how many does it take to propel it if they aren't sitting on the tires?
The caption stated it took 8 persons but I don't see the several sets of pedals and seats for them to work togetherOriginally Posted by BuffaloJohn
Never try to tell me it can't be done

On the bottom photo I see the man in the middle with handle bars, and a determined expression. I think I see the men on the rear set for propulsion, too.
I wonder how much a woven horse was and what they were woven out of?
