This is a variation on the toy number 207 – Chand’ Tonneaux (the man with the two barrels) from 1906 and the toy number 226 – les Cochons Du Pére Francois (the man with the two pigs) Both toys used the same man figure.
Found this picture in the monthly magazine La Nature from 1912 on page 155 with the text: The Little Biker – On a very primitive bicycle, a kid tries to gain speed by pressing his foot on the ground. (Source: Cnum – Digital Conservatory of Arts and Crafts – http://cnum.cnam.fr)
