@nofunoverlord @smellsofbikes That's the correct place for a brake, though.

A brake on the front wheel would just launch you face first into the road.

Historically, the way to stop quickly on a pennyfarthing was to crash into something. This rear wheel brake thing is a huge improvement.

@isaackuo @smellsofbikes lolol oh, oh I know a front brake would be a terrible, terrible thing on a penny farthing

but like it's gonna be tricky not to just lock and slide
