5 Amazing Journeys On A Penny Farthing

Posted by Queuebot in Everything Else on November 18, 2009 at 9:52 am

I don’t know how you can ride for more than a mile on a penny farthing {wiki}. No brakes, no gears, and no stopping, or you’ll fall off! These five lunatics have managed thousands of miles on them. For example, Thomas Stevens rode one of these early bicycles around the world!

The only supplies Stevens had when he set out from San Francisco were fresh socks, one clean shirt, a raincoat that did double duty as a tent, and a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver. Because paved roads and automobiles were so scarce at the time, Stevens restricted most of his journey to wagon trails, towpaths, limited public roads, and, on sometimes even railroad tracks. Naturally, the penny-farthing was not built for the same rugged terrain as a locomotive. Therefore, he was often forced to walk, carrying his bike, hopping the railroad tracks, hoping that he would never hear the sound of a locomotive bearing down on him from behind.

Forget Lance Armstrong! Carla and Henriette Hochdorfer, German Artistic Cycling champions, certainly take bicycling to a whole new level …

Skinless Skin-Tight Cycling Suit

Posted by Queuebot in Fashion, Sports on February 21, 2009 at 6:53 am


Cycling suits are usually pretty skin-tight, but what happens when you remove the skin? Tomek Pietek created this anatomical cycling suit that’s equal parts gross and neat. The elastic suit shows off what a person has going on beneath the skin’s surface – muscles. The creation may not be for everyone, but it definitely stands out from the rest of the pack.

Cycling Crash

Posted by Algonkin in Sports, Video Clips on December 23, 2007 at 8:33 am

Cyclists collide during a high speed race in Australia.

Initially two cyclists competing in a 2000m dash in Melbourne, Australia, collided at high speeds, resulting in a domino effect pile up. The collision caused other riders to crash with some travelling through the air. But all escaped serious injury.

Nine out of the 18 riders were involved in the pile up at the velodrome.
