Theoretically, that's not a Penny Farthing as it has two back wheels, whereas a Penny Farthing only has one. The one in the Simpsons might be termed a Penny Ha'penny. :rolleyes:

Yes it is. There is a photo of my father riding a Penny Farthing when he was a young man, but unfortunately I don't have access to it, or I would post it here. Mounting and dismounting was a real challenge!

​A modern uptake!
