    Mays be a forward wheelie? You can’t do a normal wheelie because of the weight distribution, but you definitely can do a forward one.

    Front wheelie is certainly possible, there are some single side tricks and riding backwards etc. In the late 19th century there were people who specialised in doing performances on penny farthings in circus or fairgrounds. Here is a video of Harry Kramer from the 1950's doing front wheelie and other tricks: www.pinkbike.com/video/347812/

    The old fashioned Penny Farthings only had one foot peg to get on and off, so your bike is super safe!

    It depends on what kind of distance you are moving them. For small distances they will fit in to most small vans although many riders use tow hitch mounts and extend them to put them on. For flying... we have a video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gI6llK6TpsbMlqQ.htmlsi=ZrBDzuwiAYHxPFmc

    Not really, they are too heavy for that and you don't have enough leverage to do achieve the jump.

    Yes, we have waited almost 4 years for the rims! That they are arriving in October seams really soon... but it is not 2 weeks time. It was quite exciting to hear that the first batch of rims are at the wheel builders this week in production.

    Riding with one foot on a penny farthing is not hard, certainly not as hard as riding one footed on a unicycle.
