Penny Farthing 48"

[GameBent]

I recently acquired a sweet reproduction Penny Farthing with a 48-inch front wheel. This boneshaker is a thing of beauty and it attracts tons of attention wherever I go!
Here I am riding it on the boardwalk in San Diego:

Here is a pic of me in the St. Patty's Day Parade:

And here is a shot that should answer the inevitable question: "Are they dangerous?"

Very cool, but at least they aren't as dangerous and playing for Louisville during March Madness.

How about we stay on topic? I couldn't care less about basketball.
