Penny farthings, also known as ordinary bicycles, were popular from the 1870s to the early 1890s. Their design featured a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel, which provided a unique riding experience. However, their popularity declined with the advent of safer and more stable bicycle designs, such as the safety bicycle, leading to their gradual disappearance by the late 1890s.
