Penny Farthing

A father and daughter team are riding their penny farthing bicycles, also known as “high-wheels” or “ordinaries” across the country. Randy and Amy Oleynik passed through Carson City on Wednesday while re-creating the historic ride of Thomas Stephens, the first person to ride a bicycle across North America in 1884, also done on a penny farthing.

As May comes to a close, it’s time to look back on all the fun events we had during Bike Month and thank our volunteers and sponsors who made it all possible!
