.... make women ride them side saddle too!
Easier to dismount, no?
I dismounted by going over the bars. Never forget a penny farthing hasn't got a freehub.

Does the bike on the right have both cranks on the left?
Mind. Blown.
Riding Penny Farthings is pretty easy. Stopping and getting off is where it starts to get tricky!

Not much mud clearance there...
