Penny Farthing - High Wheel

[ekuhn]

While searching for Higher Learning...riding around Princeton, I saw this guy. He was the main attraction on the Tow Path. Didnt get to chat with him as he was taking off. Who's had the joy of riding one of these? True definition of a fixie.

^ @Mitch had one of those as a kid.

Did he expressly say "no rakes"?

Hella cool. Take it off any sweet jumps?

When I got out of school, my housemate had one of the reproductions. Rode it once in a parking lot, and it was pretty wild. Hardest part was getting off the thing. I was looking for one for a while, but where to store it?

How about this? I think I saw it on another thread here or on Pinkbike a while ago. I'd ride it!

gotta really modulate the front brake.

Does thule/one up make a tie down accessory for that front wheel?

im predicting the bike industry will go full circle back to its roots by 2057 with this mullet set up.

I'd love to try that Zebra bike. Or any high-wheeler. Looks like a hoot. Imagine riding the Zebra at 6MR or somewhere similar?

Now that's a mullet. Carbon?

Well this large wheel direct drive setup keeps getting better...
