There are a bunch of photos of these odd bikes next to gentlemen in dapper garb from the Victorian era, which fronts an even more whimsical picture. They’re called penny farthing bikes, by reason of the larger front wheel and smaller rear wheel which, next to each other resemble a penny and a farthing, which is a small sterling coin, no longer in circulation, which was equivalent to a quarter of a penny.
