London in lockdown - from a different angle
A tour on a penny-farthing (sorry it only seems to be on Facebook):

Loved that, thanks for posting Patrick! That's probably as close as I'll ever get to a penny-farthing.
Had to look up the name, which now makes perfect sense.

Love your photo, Patrick!
I enjoyed the the penny-farthing tour - I assume he is filming himself with a drone? I dunno, the whole idea of a drone makes me a little uncomfortable. Especially in a city. Or am I getting too rigid in my thinking these days?

AIUI, aviation rules make it difficult-to-impossible to fly a drone legally in a city street, but some of those shots must have been from a drone.

Occasionally a veteran cycle club used to stop for refreshments in my little Suffolk village. I haven't seen them for many years now, but it was fascinating to look at the collection of penny farthings and boneshakers, with many of the cyclists wearing period costumes.

Aha! He's confirmed the selfie-stick. Amazing that he can control it so smoothly though.
