Not only is it beard and stache fest- the beard and stache dash goes down on Saturday!

As you well know by now- It’s Beard & Stache month. So we are bringing it to our Penny Farthing Fridays as well:

Frances “Fannie” Benjamin Johnston (15 January 1864–16 May 1952) was one of the earliest American female photographers and photojournalists. In this self portrait, taken in 1890, she is dressed in men’s cycling attire, with a mustache.

Also a bonus post that as Greghxc mentioned, is a perfect combination of me and my lady. Take a ride on the “Kitty Farthing”

Robin sent this along to me- it’s really wonderful.  These are some fixed gear tricks I actually like the look of.

You may remember my little book report recently.  Well if you liked that and your mind wandered to “Man, that looks like fun- to ride around with nothing more than a brakeless ordinary a few items of clothing and pistol….”  Well, I doubt that Steven Stevens (no known relation to Thomas Stevens) was packing  a pistol, but he did set out on a similar journey.  You can read about his attempts at this over a number of years, on both new and original penny farthings.  Steve’s trip was supported, but by no means an easy one.  Take a look and read up on his trip.

Thanks to Stephen T. for passing this along.

And now for something a little awkward, but I feel obliged:
