Pennyfarthings, the fixed gear, big wheeled precursor of the safety bike, makes an occasional comeback from time to time, whether it be in the form of racing, touring, or the latest addition to the ebike industry. But this video originally posted over at TreeHugger earlier today is the wildest p-far I’ve every seen. Plus, it just might be the kind of bike to get Texans out of their Ford Subdivisions and on two wheels.

    Yes, but you couldn’t flatten the hood of an MG with your feet!

    The ride would have been a bit smoother if they would have made it rear wheel drive, and a lot simpler to build.

    It just needs a ‘Heritage Not Hate’ bumper sticker and a gun rack.
