A color print depicts two scenes: children in a race on hand-powered cycles, and several figures walking on a path, one of whom appears to be tripping. The vehicles are similar to Rowbikes; also to railroad handcars, which were popular in Japan, except that the vehicles shown here are raced on roads, not on rails
