Cycling Round the World on A Penny Farthing

joff summerfield

As David Duffield would say to Joff Summerfield, who has just cycled around the world on a penny farthing - chapeau!. Actually David Duffield would say a lot more, but, what can you say about the feat of cycling around the world on a penny farthing? It’s really quite impressive.

Mr Summerfield cycled through 40 countries and took over 2 years. He said:

“The more I have travelled, the more I have appreciated England.”:)

Earlier in the year, Mark Beaumont cycled 18,000 miles around the world in a new record of 195 days
