carbon penny farthings are where it’s at

Genius. There’s a bike I “need” 🙂

And the PDF BASF Penny Farthing

Toe curling vid 😀

But I find the bike strangely attractive.. oh dear 😯

(not the best picture, the PDF has better)

That bike has given me a few ideas… 🙂

It’s ridiculous

how to look like even more of a knob 🙂

Sweet jesus, NOOOOOOO!

Although, some sort of integrated, geared hub on those pedals might make it a bit less of a faff to get round town.

The idea is still bloody stupid though.

Just like riding a 69er

Willard has it, a Hammerschmidt front hub !

Must be great fun in stop-start traffic (not). I just love ‘progress’.

Schlumpf unicycle hub 😉

It’s hideous, though. There are very few things that plastic makes better, and bicycles certainly aren’t one of them.
