We were driving down one of the back roads* to our tiny local market town when we were surprised by the sight of an elderly man riding a pennyfarthing bicycle.
Completely unexpected, totally wonderful sight, but a little scary - I can never understand what happens when they brake and come to a standstill; that moment when you would normally put your foot to the ground to steady yourself ready to push off again?
For locals, *the back road was the one which comes out near the police station.
