  It looks like it's snowing, though I would deduce from peoples' generally unfrozen attitudes that it's not.

  How does one dismount from a penny-farthing bicycle?!! Stuart.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Gymnastically! Or at least quickly...

• hockadilly said:

  My grandfather (b. 1873) once rode on a penny farthing when he was a youngster - he dismounted head first, at speed. He was still laughing about it aged 92.

• Jim Griffin said:

  They do look difficult to ride.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  So no harm done to his sense of humour then, hockadilly!
