http://www.gizmag.com Ask people why they ride their bicycles to work and they'll tell you it's because they enjoy the physical exercise, the exertion, a morning workout that gets them awake and feeling sharp for their 9am meeting. Why, then, would you spend 10 grand on a bicycle that makes cycling easier and less strenuous, giving you less exercise per mile? We reckon this guy has the right idea - he's built a modern day penny farthing called the Monsterbike using a massive monster truck tyre as the front wheel. Sure, it seems to have a top speed just above walking pace, and it looks like a heck of an effort to ride - but the exercise factor is huge, and you'll never feel intimidated in traffic again!en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-78469 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-78469 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 11:32:31 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-25294 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-25294 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:04:17 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24553 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24553 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:05:26 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24259 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24259 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:18:13 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24112 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24112 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 08:58:25 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24103 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24103 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 06:29:57 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24052 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24052 Mon, 31 May 2010 20:36:37 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24043 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24043 Mon, 31 May 2010 16:34:25 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24028 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24028 Mon, 31 May 2010 12:14:32 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24025 http://www.gizmag.com/monsterbike-penny-farthing-truck-wheel-bicycle/15260/#comment-24025 Mon, 31 May 2010 12:12:52 -0500
