The multiwheelers and high wheeler......

One of the collossal truck we have to share the road with. And they are many....and some roads are so narrow! Strong nerves required at times when they pass us!!
Marti with Raymond's (of Mountain Home's bike shop) high wheeler (that's a modern Penny Farthing). Marti could NOT resist to try it out - real funny feeling, as the propulsion is connected to the steering! The secret is to relax ..... in your shoulders and your grip on the handlebars.....and keep the pedals turning as forward movement enables balance. But getting off it is another thing....!
