What are some unique features of old time big wheel bikes?

Old-time big wheel bikes, also known as penny-farthing bicycles, are characterized by their large front wheel and small rear wheel. They have a high seat positioned above the front wheel, giving riders a higher vantage point. These bikes lack gears and brakes, requiring riders to use their feet to slow down or stop. The distinctive design of penny-farthings makes them stand out as a unique and iconic piece of cycling history.
