You might have come across many bikes so far but this one is little weird but well made, I’d add surely. If we carefully examine the reverse penny farthing, the bike is rather unstable. The rider’s legs go between handlebars with a long and awkward-looking stem.
Owned by bike collector Richard Loncraine, the bike is built on a modified track frame and the weight of the rider is on the rear wheel. As there are no breaks in the bike (I didn’t find in the image), there is (hopefully) a fixed gear to keep the bike in a stable speed.
The bike has no toe-clips on the pedals even and stopping it with feet in emergency would be a difficult task. Nevertheless, those who would love ride (I won’t) this one should do it off road to take the first experience before going on the busy roads.
