Step back in time with this image of a Penny Farthing cyclist, a symbol of transportation innovation during the late 19th century. The Penny Farthing, also known as the High Wheel Bicycle, was a popular mode of transportation between 1873 and 1885, preceding the introduction of the first safety bicycles. The rider, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, confidently navigates the cobblestone streets on this extraordinary machine. The Penny Farthing's unique design, featuring a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel, challenged the conventional norms of mobility. Riders sat high above the ground, giving them an elevated view of their surroundings, making it an attractive option for the adventurous and the thrill-seeking. The large front wheel provided greater momentum and speed, while the smaller rear wheel allowed for easier maneuverability. This photograph is a testament to the Penny Farthing's popularity during its time.
