A beautiful machine, Dan. I rode a vintage one that belonged to a bicycle shop I worked at 20 years or so ago. I used to ride it around the shopping mall on weekends, people were fascinated by it!
I hope to get the chance to ride one some day. This looked easy. Thanks.
Wow! Thanks for the clear instruction! Just purchased a '84 Columbia Expert and I'm trying to get comfortable on it. The emergency dismount demonstration is invaluable and will definitely boost my confidence.
Thank you Dan. You taught the essentials and more. I am awaiting my custom RBR 48" model here in the USA, and I REALLY look forward to the challenge and FUN. This video took me to your website. I loved all your models, the CLEAR photography, and your foldable model. Whew! I will reach out as I add or upgrade. FIRST I have to put in my miles... (Kilo's!)
I appreciate it that you embarked and disembarked several times :)
Very nice. Thanks for sharing with us!
Great video! Thanks. I'll be trying it out very soon.
Hi Dan, glad to see you! I have a creative experimental idea for you, why don't you create a penny-farthing, but so that the front wheel is only the leading one, and the steering wheel is made small by using cables, as is done on modern cargo bicycles. The front wheel will be the leading one, but it is fixed with the help of additional horizontal feathers, completing a full-fledged dropout. Moreover, I suggest that instead of a simple bushing, put a 3-step planetary one so that you can at least rest and not pedal all the time. And that in the dry balance, we will get a comfortable, safe bike, but at the same time with the advantage and feeling of a penny-farthing, a sense of flight and freedom.
Excellent presentation!
I was on one of these at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Of course, it was between two blocks in place and stable and you had stairs to get on it.
This is a great video, lovely product too.
I love this bike very very much, congratulations with this wonderful video
