Victorian High Wheel Bicycles Postcard

Bike racing! Antique High Wheeler Penny Farthing Bicycles - The illustration was done in the mid-1880s, showing two men in a bicycle race, and wearing brightly colored racing shirts, red and blue. About the Penny Farthing Bicycle - The High Wheel bicycle was popular in the latter half of the 1800s, a most dangerous bicycle! Mounting a penny farthing bicycle requires quite a bit of skill. You have to place one foot on a peg just above the back wheel, and then you grab hold of the handlebar. Then, pull up and lift yourself into the saddle. Needless to say, these high wheel bicycles had a lot of accidents because of their high center of gravity and an inverted pendulum effect. Sudden stops and potholes often sent their riders hurling face-first, over the handlebars.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
