Penny Farthing Expedition
In November 2011 Mr David Wilson ('The Judge') set out to ride the length of NZ on a ‘PIONEER SPIRIT’ 1880s-style, 54 inch high-wheeled penny farthing bicycle replica manufactured in Oamaru, wearing the breeches and knee high socks of the 1880-era cyclist, and carrying only one change of clothes.
We were fortunate to meet David as he stopped for a break this morning in Ward Street, Hamilton. David is travelling alone, relying on his own resources and the kindness of strangers for comfort.
We're impressed by David's enthusiasm for biking, and his sustainable approach towards resources in carrying out this massive journey. Details of his experiences are here:
