After seeing this post on Universal Hub, my friend Greg and I decided to take our bikes to Dogtown this weekend. Check out his post for some history about the place and photos of corny boulders and me riding a penny-penny (the modern day penny-farthing).

How does one mount a Penney Farthing? Can’t imagine it would be too easy.

Very carefully! Wakka wakka woo. But seriously, probably with an assist. It can also be done alone if the person’s balance is good enough. I’d try it, but the dismount would frighten me.

Ironically I saw someone riding one a few weekends ago near Niagara on the Lake; didn’t have a chance to hang around for the dismount :P
