# That is spendicular.
I crashed a penny farthing on Sunday by going straight over the front.

It's bloody stupid, you have to take your foot off the pedal to corner or the wheel hits your leg and if you hit a lump (in this case a ramp) then you just flip straight off the front.

I was lucky to walk away from it really.

# A bicycle circus had one
I have a trials unicycle and I wandered over to see if they could teach me anything. (All I learned is that I am shit on a unicycle).

Anyway, I tried to get the penny farthing up onto that Northshore rig pictured further down the page and I failed miserably.
