Penny Farthings

Everyone knows that penny farthings were named in reference to the size of two British coins: the large front wheel being the penny, and the small back wheel being the farthing (worth a quarter of a penny). Not everyone knows that enthusiasts sporting waxed mustaches still ride these beasts round the British countryside. Here are two fine examples, outside the First House in Scotland in Gretna.

And here are the waxed mustache-clad enthusiasts mounting said beasts and heading north to John O'Groats (having started in Lands End).
