EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical engraving from 1889 serves as a humorous yet scathing warning to cyclists of the detriment to their deportment when using the 'Penny Farthing' Bicycle. The exaggerated depiction of a cyclist on this outdated and impractical bicycle highlights the comical posture and race against time that riders faced during this era.
The image showcases a skeleton riding the Penny Farthing, emphasizing the potential dangers and consequences of adopting such an awkward mode of transportation. The artist's use of humor and satire adds an element of entertainment while also delivering a cautionary message about proper posture and deportment while cycling.
As we look back at this historical piece, we are reminded of how far technology has come in improving our daily lives, including more efficient modes of transportation. While the Penny Farthing may have been popular in its time, it is clear from this engraving that its design was not without flaws.
This museum-worthy print serves as both a relic from the past and a timeless reminder to cyclists everywhere to prioritize safety, comfort, and style when choosing their ride. Let us learn from history's mistakes and strive for better deportment on two wheels.
