A side saddle penny-farthing.
Look at that offset small wheel. If they did ride them, that would have been really uncomfortable! Great picture!

I was trying to find a Penny-Farthing header to compliment Hans's crash video.
Though its a common type of crash, strange that there is very few videos for this?? :sad: :evilgrin:

Some more Penny-Farthing videos:
-- Man in London traffic on PF (obviously an experienced rider!)
At he end of that vid, it shows a PF locked up with other bikes. IMHO, no need to lock it up. Who is gonna steal that. (No-one can get it in the back of a van :laugh: )

-- Monsterbike Penny-Farthing
Video a bit boring, so here is a spoiler picture...
