This type of pre-bicycle, known as the “Running Machine”, was made entirely of wood 5 J and had no pedals, As the name suggests, J) the rider had to push his/her fect against the ground to make the machine go forward, [O]F] When you wanted to turn round, you had to get off and tur the cycle in the 10 direction you wanted to go. ‘Then in 1861, a Frenchman called Pierre Michaux, added pedals to the front wheel of the bicycle and the “Boneshaker” was born. This cycle was rade of iron with wooden wheels. The wheels had iron rims like that of a ‘wagon wheel, This bike really did shake your bones! [1]_] 15 ‘The Penny Farthing was invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley and was probably the first really efficient bicycle of its time, It ‘consisted of a small rear wheel and large front wheel, turning on a simple lightweight frame with tyres made of rubber. “ortunately, these cycles came in various sizes in order to fit small children and short adult. 20 Getting onto these bicycles was no easy task either. A small step was attached to the bike so that you could move yourself along with one foot on the step until the speed was right before moving forward onto the saddle. You then had to find the pedals before momentum was lost. [3] ] Needless to say, there were quite a few accidents before most riders mastered the art 25 ‘At the height of the Penny Farthing boom, there were over 500 companies in Britain alone producing these bicycles and their proud owners were only too keen to show off their skills. It was around this time that bicycle clubs became popular, too, These clubs were formed in many parts of the ‘world and provided protection for the riders against stagecoach owners 41] 30 Different clubs had their own particular dress code and would often go riding as a group. [5[_] These were worn with long stockings and a cap that displayed their club badge. Their members were very competitive and would {20 ut in all types of weather to challenge each other and clock up long, distances and fast times. 35 [EL] They can enter them in the Knutsford Great Race, which takes place in Cheshire once every decade. This year’s race attracted 72 entrants, 16 solo riders and 14 four-member relay teams. The two types of competitors faced different problems; solo riders had to pace themselves over the three hour period, while teams had to ensure that no time was lest when changing 40 riders. [7[_] The money raised by the event on this occasion went to the charity The Children's Society.

They resented. sharing the roads with the cyclists and on ‘many occasions they attacked them, Getting off was also a tricky business as the whole process hhad to be done this time in the reverse order. Their uniform included tight fitting trousers known as ‘knickerbockers’ that were knee-length, and a close fitting jacket with a small collar As one can imagine, riding a bicycle with this type of wheel on rough roads made for a very uncomfortable ride, indeed! In addition to this, there was no steering on this type of ode. “The event isa three-hour long race with competitors on Penny Farthings, riding solo and in relay tears (Other attractions of the day included hat air balloon flights and a show of vintage cars, Even today, Penny Farthings are still popular with those people who are fortunate to ‘own one, d.
