Where can I get a modern penny farthing?

How did Victorians get on the penny farthing?

  • Answer:

    The penny farthing had a set of climbing pegs along the tube that formed the back bone. Daring riders would run with the bike, then climb into the saddle via the pegs while moving. Others would support the bike against a wall, lamp post or similar while getting into the saddle.
