Learning to ride a penny farthing bicycle

Penny Farthing Club officials run three hour training course and city bike tours in London, Brighton and Bath. Prospective members and complete novices wanting to learn to ride a Penny Farthing bicycle safely on busy public roads can enrol onto one of our Airbnb Experiences called Penny Farthing Bike Tours. On completion of a PFBT, automatic membership is bestowed on the successful rider. Check out the Joolz Guides video to get a flavour of a Penny Farthing Bike Tour. It’s a lot of fun.

Club Events

When you become a member of the Penny Farthing Club, you will be eligible and encouraged to participate in the Club’s exciting events and activities. These include social rides, charity events, Victorian costume rides, paid corporate engagements, road / track racing and our unique speciality – international Penny Farthing Polo. We have teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Rest of the World. There is no annual membership fee but Members are encouraged to make a small financial contribution when participating in Club events and are encouraged to keep their riding skills up to date by joining the Penny Farthing Bike Tours (when there are spare places available).

The Club Secretary operates a PFC WhatsApp Group to advice Members of all the latest news, events and gossip.

Corporate events

We welcome opportunities to work with commercial organisations and we can make the club’s penny farthing bikes available with experienced instructors for special events, team-building rides, films, videos or PR opportunities.

Please contact the Club Secretary for availability and costs.
