A Penny-Farthing was a 19th Century bicycle. The front wheel was very large and the back wheel was very small. The pedals were attached to the front wheel. It required a running start to get it rolling and hoist yourself up onto the seat and start pedalling. It is called a Penny-Farthing due to the contrast of the two wheels, a Penny being very large by comparison with a very small Farthing.
They were for recreation before more sensible bikes were invented. Today they are also for recreation, by a few diehard enthusiasts.

They had climbing pegs along the "spine". Real sportsmen would run alongside and then climb it at speed, while more cautious riders would support the bike against a wall or something while getting into the saddle.
They usually had pegs on the spine(the sloping tube running from rear wheel to saddle and handlebar). Riders used these pegs to climb high enough until they could get into the saddle
They had climbing spurs along the "back bone", the tube that went between steerer tube and the small rear wheel.
The penny farthing had a set of climbing pegs along the tube that formed the back bone. Daring riders would run with the bike, then climb into the saddle via the pegs while moving. Others would support the bike against a wall, lamp post or similar while getting into the saddle.

Which was invented first the unicycle or bicycle?
Unicycles evolved from early bicycles in the 19th century pennyfarthing bikes, or "ordinary bikes," that had one big wheel in the front and a smaller wheel in the back. Often, riders would find themselves on the front wheel only and realized that they could actually ride on one wheel alone. Who actually invented the first official unicycle is not known.One contributor says that his grandfather, William Newhouse, invented the unicycle in 1903, but there is no other information available to corroborate that claim at this point.No one knows for sureapparently someone forgot to add back to a penny farthing
