Penny farthing bicycle⠀
Made in Coventry, UK, c 1885.⠀

200th Anniversary of the Bicycle – a highlight from our Collection⠀
⠀
Named after two British coins of the period, the penny farthing had a brief, but visually lasting effect on the development of the bicycle.⠀
⠀
They were difficult to mount and dismount, unstable because of their high centre of gravity, and could pitch the rider (likely dressed in a knickerbocker suit and pillbox cap) at speed over the handle bars from braking too hard, swerving or hitting small obstructions on the road. ⠀
⠀
However, they were also elegant, simple and efficient, as well as smooth and graceful to watch, and soon developed a cult following. ⠀
