Penny farthing surprise...

[CopperBrompton]

I'd love to have a go on one. Does anyone do rental sessions where they teach you to ride (well, mount/dismount) one?

I've alrady asked Chris Hoy to be in MY team

I've just been riding mine round Northampton (paid for by Sustrans) and I'm just about to spend a week doing the same in London.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Thanks - will drop him an email

I'm working in schools 9 - 3 and the rest of the time is mine. Might nip down to Herne Hill to catch up with some folks there one evening but nothing else planned yet

Hi

I have sent off for entry, hope to see you there! I am solo at the moment however, no one else my size is wanting to compete!

Cheers

Seen one on Oxford Road in Manchester once, last summer. Cheered me up for the rest of the day.

I've seen one there a couple of times too and around Manchester city centre. probably the same guy.

Hi

I helped out on the training day the other sunday for the great race. Seems there will be about 60 riders taking part!

Anyone in the South Cheshire area who can ride a penny, and has an inside leg of 33-36"? I might be looking for team members if I feel you can handle the new bike!

Cheers

Dave

 

[longers]

I doubt I could handle the bike but it's worth linking to the race details again.

Good luck Dave.

Anyone else going?

Does the wink indicate you work there? If so, can you drop me a PM with details? I'm thinking about early April.

 

[Hilldodger]

Send me an email to the info@cyclemagic email although I don't think I'll be running them until May.

PS, I need to know how tall you are.
