This bicycle was handcrafted by a wheelwright from the Sarthe region. It draws from three types of machines:

  • from the draisienne for its “horse head” design,
  • from the velocipede for its wooden frame,
  • from the penny-farthing for the size of its wheels.
  • Bicycle made of wood and metal
