Penny-Farthing Bicycle - Vintage High-Wheeler Design & History #1689570 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized blue line-art image depicts a penny-farthing bicycle, a 19th-century velocipede characterized by a massive front wheel (typically 48-60 inches) and a much smaller rear wheel. The design maximized speed and efficiency before the invention of chain-driven safety bicycles, though it required significant balance and courage to ride. The illustration emphasizes structural details like the solid rubber tire, spoked wheels, and direct pedal-to-front-hub linkage.

Used on historical transport blogs, museum exhibit pages, or vintage cycling resource sites; targets users researching antique bicycles, Victorian-era technology, or the evolution of personal mobility.
