19th Century Bicycle Makes A Comeback In Modern London A 19th century bicycle famous for its giant front wheel is making a comeback. The Penny Farthing was invented by the French but made popular by the Brits. Whoever said it’s as easy as riding a bike, never rode a Penny Farthing. Neil Laughton runs the Penny Farthing Club in London. Laughton said you ride about seven feet in the air. They re so unusual. These bikes had their day. Their fame was in the 1870s to 1890s,” he said. There’s a reason the term “breakneck speed” comes from these bikes. Back then, before gears, the bigger the tire, the faster and further you’d go, and there are no brakes. Penny Farthing bikes can hit top speeds of more than 20 mph.
