In a remarkable feat of endurance and balance, a man from Kerala has entered the record books by completing 12 kilometers in just one hour on a Penny-Farthing — a vintage-style bicycle known for its massive front wheel and challenging ride dynamics.
Braving the unique physical demands of the antique cycle, the rider showcased extraordinary control and stamina to achieve the world record. The event drew cycling enthusiasts and curious onlookers who cheered him on as he circled a dedicated track under strict supervision and timing.
“It wasn’t just about speed; it was about patience, technique, and respect for the machine,” the record-holder shared after his historic achievement.
The Penny-Farthing, first popularized in the late 19th century, is rarely seen today, making this achievement even more special. With this, the Kerala cyclist has not only revived a piece of history but also inspired a new generation to embrace unique sporting challenges.
