Marietta, GA: Don’t let the name throw you for a loop. Unicycle.com has a lot more than just unicycles in stock.

Case in point, the company carries a wide range of penny farthing bicycles, and everything that enterprising riders need to get started with them.

But let’s walk before we can run, here, or ride, as the case may be. If you’re not familiar with penny farthing bikes, they are those old-time bicycles with big front wheels. They first became popular in England in the late 1800s. They’re actually also the first contraptions to which the term “bicycle” was even applied.

Penny farthings, again, those bicycles with the big front wheels, do not have a chain drive. As a result, the only way for them to attain a higher top speed is by increasing the size of the wheel to which the crank arms are attached. That is exactly the configuration these bikes sport.

And they were fast. In fact, in their day, they were the fastest things out there. They were faster than early cars and, in the hands of a skilled rider, could be faster than a horse as well.

They’re also not historical gimmicks. They’re real bikes, and if you know where to get one, you can even learn to ride. That supplier is Unicycle.com.

They carry a variety of penny farthing bicycles in numerous sizes, which is critical since you must get one that is appropriately sized according to your inseam length. One rider cannot simply ride any size of penny farthing desired.

But, beyond that, Unicycle.com also carries everything else you need to learn to ride, including but not limited to safety gear, tools, and parts.

In addition to helmets, gloves, knee, elbow and wrist pads, they also carry numerous unicycle and bike tools that are necessary for intrepid riders to make adjustments and repairs on the road or trail, as needed. Shop their collection of safety gear and parts and tools such as tires, pedals, crank arms, wrenches, and more, on their website.

In other words, Unicycle.com serves as a one-stop-shop for unicyclists and cyclists from all walks, even those that have committed to learning how to ride penny farthing bikes.
