      I've often wondered how someone mounted one of those. That gentleman looks like he's done it many times. What gets me is, he enjoys it

    Thanks for this Roger... I need to practice my low speed manoeuvres! OK at getting on, getting off!

    How about stunts on a Penny Farthing, what's possible?

      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!

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

    • @unicycledotcomuk
      @unicycledotcomuk  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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: th-cam.com/video/NZq2LZvcffA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZrBDzuwiAYHxPFmc

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

    Is it possible to bunny hop a penny farthing?

    • @unicycledotcomuk
      @unicycledotcomuk  ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

      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/

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

    • @unicycledotcomuk
      @unicycledotcomuk  ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

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

    • @unicycledotcomuk
      @unicycledotcomuk  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
