A penny farthing ride carries a sharply dressed cyclist above the cobbles of an autumn lane. The high wheel bicycle shows its large front wheel, small trailing wheel and curved frame in full. Both hands hold the narrow handlebar, while honey-colored leather boots meet the pedals beside the front hub.

A brown blazer, teal waistcoat and rust bow tie form the tweed cycling outfit, with a plain dark helmet completing the look. Quiet shop windows, planted pots and fallen leaves extend along the curving street. The broad view makes the unusual bicycle part of its surroundings, with the rider’s turned face adding an unhurried moment of attention.
