Velocipede RiderMay 9, 2023

Ok, in the last few days 2 different people (with no connection to each other) have mentioned seeing another/different penny farthing rider in #Oslo.

One of them specifically mentioned a time and location where I was not present and the colour of the penny was different than mine (white).

Anyone else seen this person?

Also is there allowed to be two of us? I feel like I should start carrying a lance with me at all times when out on my penny and if I spot this fellow I shall joust him to the ground! šŸ‡

@ruari Oslo should ideally be big enough for two riders? Otherwise take away their small wheel so theyā€™ll have to unicycle the penny farthing.

@lachralle This is how the unicycle was invented. You might think I joke butā€¦

@lachralle It is possible to do a front wheel "wheelie" on a penny farthing and then you are unicycling.

Many have suggested and speculated that this is the origin or unicycles.

Also, this is what AI tells meā€¦

@ruari I know you donā€˜t like them but Iā€˜d need four training wheels on that thing. Minimum.

@lachralle @ruari Also, a motor would be nice :)

@ruari I shall edit that toot to reflect that I shouldnā€˜t have assumed that the other rider is a he.
