The biggest unicycle supplier is unicycle.com (they also sell penny farthings). In Europe, their biggest store is unicycle.co.uk. I often buy parts from this one.

Today I head over to buy a new tyre for one of my 36 inch wheeled unicycles and what do I see? Well right on the homepage near the top is an image of penny farthings being raced.

Unicycle.co.uk shown in a browser. Near the top amongst the images is a group of penny farthing riders racing.

If the image looks familiar to my regular followers it's because I have posted it before here myself. Let's zoom up a bit on the rider at the back of that group of racers. Yep, that's me! 😂

@joel I mean, I guess I am an international penny farthing racer. 🤔

I mean it says it right in my bio here in the fedi.

@tk That picture is from an international competition with riders from all over the world. I was representing Ireland… though, I was also part of "Team Norway" 🤣
