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?
In all seriousness I would like to meet this other person. I think it is great that there might be more of us. I actually met people like @erlendloe and @unimyra because of confusion about who "the Oslo unicyclist" was (nobody expected more than one!)
I would love to see a Veltepetter revival in Oslo, alongside with the vast amounts of unicyclists we have gathered here.

Dan even makes a penny farthing with a foldable wheel for the ultimate in practicality!
And today another Penny Farthing rider in #Oslo actually contacted me via a DM on Mastodon!! 🤯
I also discovered there is a "Team Norway" at the yearly Penny Farthing event in Sweden, made up for 3 people, all from Oslo.
Ok, that is actually awesome. I would love to join then but sadly I am busy around the time of the event
@tido Me too… me fucking too!
I did consider it. Maybe now is the time?
