 |
| Nick and his Penny Farthing |
IT'S an unusual skill - particularly for a
five-year-old.
Young Nick Pain from Fordingbridge in
the New Forest has mastered the art of
riding a penny-farthing bicycle.
His antique hunter dad, also called Nick,
found the Roy Cooper classic toy version
of the bike at a car boot sale in Ashley
Heath, near Ringwood.

Roy Cooper toy penny-farthings were
made in London between the 1950s and
1970s as a smaller version of the full size
bike created in the 1870s.
Young Nick, a pupil at Fordingbridge
Infants school, hopped straight on the vintage
bicycle and has not been off it since
according to mum Georgie.
