You may remember my little book report recently.  Well if you liked that and your mind wandered to “Man, that looks like fun- to ride around with nothing more than a brakeless ordinary a few items of clothing and pistol….”  Well, I doubt that Steven Stevens (no known relation to Thomas Stevens) was packing  a pistol, but he did set out on a similar journey.  You can read about his attempts at this over a number of years, on both new and original penny farthings.  Steve’s trip was supported, but by no means an easy one.  Take a look and read up on his trip.

Thanks to Stephen T. for passing this along.
