Penny-Farthing Videos

This video is filmed from the Penny-Farthing racer's POV of this epic Penny-Farthing race. Racers speed through the streets of the quiet, beautiful Cheshire hamlet Knutsford which like Brigadoon comes alive only once every 10 years with Penny-Farthing racing until another decade passes. The 3 hour course isn't merely a test of endurance but is also technically challenging with a sharp, twisting downhill ending in a 90 degree turn racers negotiate at speed. Terrence Houlahan stitched the video from his helmet and rear-facing cameras to take the viewer with him during the race.

This video features a racers PoV camera view of the race, as well as videos at the end of each of the racers finishes filmed with an iPhone. Finally it has pics of the top three racers, of which this year there was a new number 1: Charlie Burell pulled off a stunning win against Roger Davies, one of the best Penny-Farthing racers in the world.

Returning from London at night on my Penny-Farthing, Google Maps routes me through high crime areas and even down a canal path that divides South Tottenham from Walthamstow; niiiiice ;-) Note to self: never set Google Maps to "bike" again...
