The Penny-Farthing bicycle worked by using a large front wheel and a smaller rear wheel. The rider sat high on the large wheel and used leg power to move it forward. This design was eventually replaced by the safety bicycle, which had two wheels of the same size, making it more stable and easier to ride.
