You should see me in my normal clothing, I also look nice.....haha.
When dressed up I have a really old hat, gloves and tie. Also I wear a watch and chain from 1910, from my granddad. I only wind it up for the occasion, and it runs good.
I bought that bike a few years ago, and Penny Fartings are from 1869-1885. Intact ones are extremely expensive, and only to be seen in museums. There are few companies which make expensive new ones, which look authentic. When searching for one, I came across someone who had three, which he bought around 1965. The guy rented bikes and mopeds to groups of tourists, but the PF's were impossible to ride of course. I bought one, and still had some work to do on it. Especially the handlebars needed attention. I had one made after my wishes. The front wheel needed a lot of adjusting, and further some details werd done.
Riding it is difficult, but it can be done. I never rode one before, but watched Youtube films about it, and when I tried it, I stayed on it. It does not have lamps or brakes,so you really have to look ahead what is happening.
You step with one foot on the little step above the rear wheel. With the other foot you step and gain speed. Then you jump into the saddle.
