Boneshaker Big Wheel, A Penny-Farthing-Style Cycle With a Pedal-Powered Walking Drive System
The Boneshaker Big Wheel is a wooden kinetic sculpture that combines the big front wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle and an articulating “walking” drive system inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of artist Theo Jansen. It can be pedaled by a rider much like a penny-farthing. Artist Ron Schroer created the sculpture for the 2014 OneSpark festival in Jacksonville, Florida.
