Cool videos: Modern Penny Farthing, body skating
Those old fashioned bikes with big front wheels are called Penny Farthings and there are modern ones as described in the video above. They are not too popular because the design is so impractical it's not even funny. Below the fold is a video of something called body skating which is basically putting skates all over your body and throwing yourself down a hill. That's just nuts. Emission-free, but nuts.
