Try to imagine a time when the cars went only as fast as horses. A 
bicycle could pass a car. Many of the people waiting to the sides of the 
trolley simply swung on as it went by. A nimble pedestrian could easily 
step around a car. I think the pace of this movie might have even been 
sped up a bit.
