You are the biggest fucking geek in the world. X3

Well hell, I need to exercise more, and I think normal bikes are boring, so why the hell not, I decided to go Victorian XD

And naw, not the biggest geek. But I'm probably in the top ten XD

I just work out some with this one dumb-bell I found in my house one time. XP

and yes, definitely.

Yeah, I'm not talking about muscle XD I'm not gonna lose weight lifting a dumbbell =p

And yeah, I hear they were really uncomfortable. but that was mainly because of the fact the tires used to be solid rubber, so you felt every little pebble you ran over. With the air filled tires it should be a lot smoother.

Muscle mass aids in weight loss. XP

And whee, then.

Also, mine's a little more modern. Smaller front tire, and freewheel, which means I can coast instead of constantly pedaling. Air filled tires, too, so it'll be more comfortable, but otherwise, it's very vintage style XD

They just seem like really uncomfortable things to ride. XP

My brother said that aside from a difficult start, it was just like riding any other bike.

What about stopping?It seems like it'd be awkward unless your legs are gigantic.

One of the mechanics found a method of stopping, and catching yourself when you fall to the side. Typically with the bigger ones (the originals had a five foot wheel) you'd slow down and jump off the back.

Mad Skillz.

yah XD

You need to go to youtube. Look up Pennyfarthing race. Those things really book!

Oh god, I found a race that's in Australia.
That was so retarded. X3
Maybe I'm just not gay-for-steam-punk... X3

Want a kinda steampunk webcomic? http://www.marriedtothesea.com/mtts.....hive-feb06.php

The race IS retarded. that's what makes them so great XD

And the pennyfarthing isn't steampunk. It's just Victorian :V

"How DARE you play the race card! Get out of this comic!"
