At Old World Wisconsin a couple years ago, I tried a ladies trike from the 19th century, which was made to accommodate huge skirts, like this:

The preferred nomenclature in the era of penny-farthing was actually ordinary bicycle, not penny-farthing. The purpose of step-through frame is not exactly illustrated by this video, considering how easily our model steps through any frame (or rear wheel for that matter).

My favorite part is when she steps through the top tube, and then the step-through frame is invented, even though apparently she doesn't need it.

Looked at your previous post history and it appears you get off on slamming people rather than just looking for another thread. You ever tried just moving on to the next thread rather than showing your snarky side? Discretion being the better part of valor and all that…. Just a thought.
