Not Something You See Everyday

Happened to look out the garage at the right time. Guy riding an antique high wheel bike just strolling down the road in front of my house. By far one of the strangest things I've seen in the over 2 years I've lived here...

That's a penny-farthing alright. I have seen a guy ride a homebuilt bike that looks like a giraffe a few times but I have never been able to take a picture.

From what I understand you really need to know how to ride one of those things. They can be dangerous to the untrained.

Especially on this road! It's a 55mph road and not uncommon to see people travel at 70mph and motorcycles 120mph+

That's an old style. That's fun to see.

Falling off from that height would really hurt.

It doesn't take much of a stone and you're on the ground face first from a long way up. Brave guy.
