The penny farthing bicycle was the way Victorian daredevils got their adrenaline rush by risking life and limb. With wheels more than five feet wide and no helmet, it wasn’t a ride for the faint-hearted. It’s making a comeback with some of today’s thrill seekers. Elizabeth Hotson reports from a World Record penny farthing attempt. First broadcast on You & Yours, 26 July 2018.
