Penny Farthings in Greenwich

[ianrauk]

Just seen about 7 or 8 Penny Farthings cycle past my office in Deptford. Heading towards Greenwich. Anyone knows what's going on here then?

8 of them.
They were heading toward 'Fourp Park' - just for fun.

"Joff" the around the world penny farthing cyclist, a resident of Greenwich is bound to be involved

Google will tell you of his adventures

Why?

Because I had my Penny with me, would have liked to have gone for a ride and had some time free to do so.

Seriously...yes that would have been great to capture on the old cam as well.

Do they manufacture replica Penny Farthings or are the ones in existence all very old now??

Just curious like.

Several people make modern/replica Pennies although a lot of originals are still ridden.
