IceCreamMan Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Today I was driving through a village and saw a guy on a Penny farthing. So I naturally stopped and had a chat with him as one does. First time I have ever seen one being ridden and first time I have seen one outside of a museum. We got talking, he owns a couple of original 1870s which he reconditioned but this is a new one. There is a company making em. http://www.ordinarybicycle.co.uk/ Starting from 1150 pounds. Beautiful machine. Tempted to get one. He reckons there are clubs devoted to them and a fairly active following.
RickyM Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Very interesting indeed. I wonder how easy they are to ride?
