Chris Hoy riding MY penny

[Hilldodger]

I wasn't allowed to take any pictures at the time but here's proof that Chris did indeed ride my Penny

Being a bit thick in the computer world I can't seem to save/print out the picture at a decent size

Any ideas?

Press Prnt Scrn and paste the image into MS Paint? The one in the document you've linked to is fairly low-res though so quality is limited.

zoom in so that it fills as much as the screen as possible
hit printscreen
paste into paint
crop it
paste into word
make it the desired size
print it out (remember to put your printer into picture mode so that it's half decent quality)

Lets see how this goes.......

Little small

Tried to make it bigger but it just didnt work

 

[Ben M]

anyone with a larger monitor will be able to make a bigger one, but I'm limited by my parents' monitor res (1280*1024)

How fast can you go on those things?

Looks like it's easier to go faster on those than a normal bicycle.

Depends on gear inches I guess; remember, penny farthings are where that unit comes from

Install on your PC then zoom in as far as it will go and screen grab, move, screen grab, move, until all done. Then paste all the bits together in Photoshop and you get a bit master copy. (Although it's a compressed JPG so it will only expand so far before it becomes blotchy!).

I'll have a go for you when I next go to my office (don't have my Adobe suite on the home PC's).

Cheers,

35 - 40 mph in a sprint. Not me though.

If you are very brave.

I quite like the idea of riding a modern penny farthing. Perhaps something to get when I win the lottery! (perhaps I should buy a ticket).
