How to mount a Penny Farthing and turn in small spaces.

In this video Roger demonstrates how to mount and dismount a penny farthing. It highlights another key skill, how to turn in a small circle on one of these big wheels.

Hope they will still be in stock in April this year, we’re planning on purchasing one here in the US!

[@reubenbryant]

Yes! Been looking forward to the penny farthings coming back in stock.

[@vladimirciric519]

Well done! How would you do a wheelie? 😸

[@liamb135]

Another excellent video! How about stunts on a Penny Farthing, what's possible?

[@AmmarAlameh]

Mays be a forward wheelie? You can’t do a normal wheelie because of the weight distribution, but you definitely can do a forward one.

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Front wheelie is certainly possible, there are some single side tricks and riding backwards etc. In the late 19th century there were people who specialised in doing performances on penny farthings in circus or fairgrounds. Here is a video of Harry Kramer from the 1950's doing front wheelie and other tricks: www.pinkbike.com/video/347812/

The old fashioned Penny Farthings only had one foot peg to get on and off, so your bike is super safe!

Great skill

[@der_municycler]

definitely interesting

Manda uma dessa de brinde para min aqui no Brasil que eu faço a propaganda para você.

[@ccnneal]

I would like one, but how do you transport it?

[@unicycledotcomuk]

It depends on what kind of distance you are moving them. For small distances they will fit in to most small vans although many riders use tow hitch mounts and extend them to put them on. For flying... we have a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIvUY3-Qq8iZnKMsi=ZrBDzuwiAYHxPFmc

[@amber.mp4]

oh wow i really want to try one of these. i bet it feel like you're up on a horse at that height

[@unicycledotcomuk]

They are certainly fun and you are right they give you a horse riders perspective. :-)

[@steroidsR4losers]

What if you wanted a giraffe rider's perspective?

@@unicycledotcomuk ok thx for the answer

[@steveferguson698]

Who has or has anyone ever done a long bike tour on one?

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Joff Summerfield is a good starting point. He has ridden around the world. He has his own KZbin channel. www.youtube.com/@Biketouring

كم سعر الدراجة ؟

[@schnoof7111]

Is it possible to bunny hop a penny farthing?

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Not really, they are too heavy for that and you don't have enough leverage to do achieve the jump.

[@jugglerj0e]

Hmmm...🤔🤔🤔 I can't quite tell if that's a uni or a bike??? Lol. Just kidding 😮🤣

[@etherealblue]

This is great and all but like.... 2600$?

[@unicycledotcomuk]

That is the price from unicycle.com USA, these are not a standard bike. Here is the link: www.unicycle.com/udc-52-mk5-penny-farthing-black-black/

[@hfjchan]

LOL required skill of one foot ride before able to do tight turn

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Riding with one foot on a penny farthing is not hard, certainly not as hard as riding one footed on a unicycle.

[@AmmarAlameh]

People love them too much. My guess is that they will be back out of stock in 2 weeks.

[@unicycledotcomuk]

Yes, we have waited almost 4 years for the rims! That they are arriving in October seams really soon... but it is not 2 weeks time. It was quite exciting to hear that the first batch of rims are at the wheel builders this week in production.
