Wow! I come back after 3 days and a whole new eposide of my favourite soap has been played out in my absence!
To clarify, yers, the Ordianry is a 'penny farthing', and the Skyride was fab, andthought the 'penny' and tallbike riders were the first to be hit by the downpour.
Incidentally, this is a closed-road event, at low speeds, and we were sent off first at the start. My second and third runs, before clocking on for my work shift on a try-out show, were on more conventional bikes, with the suual number of braking systems.
goog point about trikes, lucifer. Two brakes on one wheel is still legal. My Ex's touring trike has caliper and drum on the front.
