Vintage penny-farthing bicycle with large front wheel and small rear wheel, black-and-white line drawing.

About this clipart

This black-and-white line illustration depicts a late-19th-century penny-farthing (or high-wheel) bicycle, characterized by its disproportionately large front wheel (often 48-60 inches in diameter) and minimal rear wheel. The frame is diamond-shaped with a direct-drive mechanism: pedals attached directly to the front hub, requiring the rider to sit high above the ground. Its design maximized speed on smooth roads but posed significant safety risks, leading to its eventual replacement by the safer safety bicycle.
Used on history-of-transportation, vintage cycling, or museum exhibit web pages; targets users researching 19th-century technology, antique bicycles, or the evolution of personal mobility. Ideal for educational content, blog posts, or digital archives.
