Ha ha, a penny-farthing is one of these:
Never actually ridden one but I imagine it feels gigantic underneath you, and hard to get the wheels going initially.
My 650c wheels are so quick to accelerate that when I jump back on my 700c bike it just takes a bit of getting used to again, I don't seem to have that quickness in turning the wheels round, especially going up steep hills. Would never go back to racing my 700c bike in crits again!
