This video was sent in by a commuter who wishes to remain anonymous, we’ll call him Bob.
Bob was lucky to spot an unusual sight on his way to work, a Penny Farthing being peddled along a busy street… What happened next will make for an interesting insurance call..
We invite your comments below.
The penny-farthing, also known as a high wheel, high wheeler or ordinary, was the first machine to be called a “bicycle”.[1] It was popular in the 1870s and 1880s, with its large front wheel providing high speeds (owing to it travelling a large distance for every rotation of the legs) and comfort (the large wheel provides greater shock absorption)
