Every year in Evandale Tasmania they have a penny-farthing race around the town - I'd love to see it one day.

He looks like a cheery soul - as we are led to believe blacksmiths were!!   ;) ;)

Roy
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

While out for a walk a couple of weeks ago, we saw a cyclist in full cycling club garb riding a penny farthing.  We saw him again a couple of hours later.

I imagine the "braking system" involved leaning on the pedals to stop the wheel rotating.   :o
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
