The most bonkers bike of the summer?
We’re big fans of bonkers transport here at The Gadget Show, as you know, so when this latest crazy bike dropped into our inboxes it got our attention straight away.
A modern interpretation of the Victorian classic, this all-new Penny Farthing has rather more modern components, including pneumatic tyres for a slightly more comfortable ride than the original. The front wheel is whopping 36 inches, so you can guarantee that you’ll be head and shoulders above the traffic, although you might find the dismounts take a little practise.
The Penny Farthing is available from iwantoneofthose.com for £499. What do you think? Would you shell out for a slice of this bonkers transport? Let us know below…

That is really nice! I wouldn't want to take it on the road though, I imagine it'd be quite different to ride than a normal bike.
