Martin,
       Sorry to sound pedantic but...A penny farthing
is NOT a boneshaker. A boneshaker -as I understand it-
has two wheels of equal size and has no pedals, being
propelled by pushing against the floor with the feet.
  Will soon be told if I am wrong on this..  :-)
             Regards, john Duggan, Wales
  P.S The photo is brilliant. Would not have worked in
colour.
