"A penny for your thoughts" and "It's not worth a farthing"...lol...Get it?...A Penny-Farthing bicycle...lol.

"The penny-farthing, also known as a high wheel, high wheeler or ordinary, was the first machine to be called a "bicycle". It was popular in the 1870s and 1880s, with its large front wheel providing high speeds."
 
I'm so far happy with micargi bikes, they seem heavy built bikes, my rover has a 220-230lb weight limit. The bare frame on my micargi without front fork weighs 44lbs.
when i was in high school i got a 1939 jc higgins straihjt bar frame from a buddy. since mist bikes went way of scrap metal for wwll i thought i was stylin to getthis frame. you talk about heavy. o know why they were wanted for the war. where most cars nowadays when they get scratched you can see they were made with budweiser cans. this frame you could take a sledge to and hurt the sledge not the frame. forget trying to jump off curbs. this frame weighed as much as my bike with the motor on it.

No word of a lie, in 1970, my mother bought a Toyota Corolla Sprinter two door sport coupe...I had to change a tire for her and when I took off the hub cap, you could just make out the word SCHLITZ on the underside of the cap...Schlitz beer cans...lol.
 
Wouldn't be to terrible... I don't like the rear drop outs and it's got a long steer tube so Springer forks are a pain... On par with the Electra for ride... Flat foot technology 🤣

the strange thing is when you go to that page the pictures they show have women standing by the bikes. made me start looking harder at the seats. seem like they might be uncomfortable to guys....lmao looks like it would take some strategic placement so you dont hurt yourself...

Yeah I got about a 1948-1952 firestone pilot skip tooth chain bike, it's made when 💩 was meant to last. Heavy old bike.
 
ive never seen one in person but dont you have to keep pedalling one of these when you ride it? or can you pedal and coast along and pedal more?
those farthing bikes...do you have to pedal nonstop? ir is it setup like a regular bike where you can pedal at your leisure? am i not explaining ot right?
