Our new penny farthing bike

A Cartwheel is turned into a Penny Farthing Bike

It was decided to create a penny farthing bike out of objects lying around at home. We were given the large cart wheel to start with. The handles are handles from off an old lawn mower. The seat was carved out of wood. The pedals were off an old bike and the small wheel at the back was in Mrs Walker’s garden. Mrs Walker got her neighbour Mr Williams to do the welding and Mr Walker came up with many of the ideas. We love this bike in our school garden and it always has children riding on it.
