They’ve been at Herne Hill velodrome and Dulwich park Friday and yesterday to [set a bunch of world records](https://pennyfarthingworldrecords.com/gwr/). They’re at Lee Valley Velopark till about 4pm today, if anyone wants to go watch.
Spoken to these guys and they really love cycling on these – I guess you could say itβs kind of a big wheel
Rode with this the guy (at the front) at an event back in August. Was so friendly and let so many kids/families have a seat and take pictures. ππ½
Any sigh of his lordship that is Jacob Rees mogg? With his top hat and monacle ridng on one of these

Saw this lot cycle past my window about an hour ago while having a bacon sandwich. Surreal stuff
Those were the times. When bicycles had big wheels. Proper stuff
Love a bit of British eccentricity!
Looks very serene!
is there any footage of people falling off
