Wait until Larson E. Pettifogger finishes up his class action suit.

Aye sure and what with bein’ THAT small,his footstool would need a footstool,for the other footstool.

well, the red bike looks shorter…

I live 15-20 minutes aways from Greenville Village in Dearborn and they have people riding penny-farthing bicycles all over the place. It’s pretty neat!

I have wondered about the reasoning for this style of bicycle.

Peddle power was one to one: one revolution of the foot pedal = one full turn of the wheel. The larger the wheel, the greater the distance traveled with each turn. But the radius of the wheel had to stop short of the length of the leg, so that was the largest wheel/longest distance per revolution. The development of the chain drive solved the peddle power ratio problem.

For the Fink, even an adjustable seat doesn’t help.

Where am I?

In the Village.

Who are you?

No. 2.

Who is No. 1?

You, are No. 6.

I am not a number, I am a free man!

HA HA HA HA HA!

Sort of like a unicycle with a training wheel

Thanks Guys, I learned something today. I didn’t know those bikes had a name. Always enjoyed seeing them when I used to watch “The Prisoner”.

Good thing that later they shrunk the front wheel.
