not a penny-farthing

notapennyfarthing

I was so curious about this bicycle that when I got home, I called the shop to ask about it. The owner couldn’t remember what it was called, but he said it was a replica, not an antique, and that it’s much easier to ride than a penny-farthing because you’re not trying to turn the driving wheel. He said he rode it in the town parade every year until his kid was old enough to be embarrassed by him doing so.
