Certainly one of the most quirky things to do in London must be to ride a penny farthing bicycle through the busy streets. The Penny Farthing was a very popular bicycle in the 1870s and 1880s but died out with the advent of the safety bicycle. This week Joolz learns to ride a Penny Farthing with The Penny Farthing Club which was founded by Neil Laughton in 2013.
As you will see it's tremendous fun but quite a challenge.
Anyone can learn to ride, just get in touch with Neil through the links below.

On our route we go past the houses of parliament and Buckingham Palace.
