    Don’t know if this has been done on STW – a search for Penny Farthing reveals nothing.

    This guy needs his head examining. But kudos to him. One hell of a challenge

    People rode the things around the world well over 100 years ago – not that big a deal really 😉

    I passed him on Tuesday. Going at a decent pace so he was.

    It’s those big wheels, innit? Make you faster – less rolling resistance.

    Yes, it’s just not usually a good idea to use them 😀
