The Penny Farthing Peleton
If you fancy a real retro bike, you couldn’t do any better than try the iconic Penny Farthing. The Penny Farthing was actually a big leap forward in bike development as it enabled much faster speeds due to the size of the front wheel. True it may not be the safest bike ever developed, but, it does look wonderful. These intrepid cyclists are taking part in the World Penny Farthing Championships held in Evendale, Tasmania, Australia.
