Some day I'll own a Pennyfarthing, but this will have to do for now.

Nice bike but I would so crash on that.

Dodging shiny bikes (walgoose bicycle shaped objects) on the Boise River Greenbelt bike path, even I would so crash. I hope you are repping on a ratrod up there, just to even the tide.
 
The character who did the fab work on mine had his first tallbike quite a few years ago. It's been modded to a triple-decker now and I'll see if he wants to drop some pics of it to me.

I managed to loop it, but was able to step right off the back.

If you look close at the bike you can see it's built from a Schwinn Exersize bike---the sprocket came on it.62 tooth I think.
 
I thought that was part Exercycle, nice representation.

As soon as I get moved, I'll be snapping up a couple of vintage Schwinn electro-forged basket cases someone is holding onto for me. One can never have too many bicycles, right?
 
I'm hoping someone will have a boneshaker replica that they get tired of and sell me for about 1/2 what it costs new. Coker keeps saying they will make the wheelman again but they sure are taking their time.
