Hank looked more at home on the PF than he did on the recumbent a few weeks ago. Well done Hank, willing to go where no other GCN presenter dares to go! 😂😂
Bravo. I doubt I could ride a PF 50 feet before crashing. There is a father/daughter duo, Randy and Amy Oleynik, that rode their Penny Farthings across America. 3314 miles. 😲.
Wonderful video. When you think Hank has done everything, GCN finds a way to up the game. Well done Hank. Love the scenery. Was a bit concerned in a few parts, especially after watching Conor's segment on Road Rage.
@GCN~Trying to kill Son-of-Hank's-Dad is NOT a corporate mission statement! It is nerve-shattering entertainment though. Probably the scariest 'real-life' ride I have ever seen on the Tube. SO thankful you survived...a testament to your riding skill.
Bring that to Iowa the last week of July and ride that thing across the whole state with me and about 20,000 other cyclists. It will be fun I promise! 😂
I put pf in the same bag as fixies and unicycles... They are all majestic! They are so complicated for any kind of diverse terrain cycling. They all definitely have a place in competitive cycling and they are all fun in casual cycling
Since you seem to be as mad as a hatter, you might just as well have worn the top hat all the way. Brilliant video. Made us all finish with a big smile on our faces.
I’ve ridden in England a few times with friends, mostly in Devon. It’s beautiful there, but the hedgerows block your view for the most part. A penny farthing would help out a bit.
Having ridden both a restored original and a reproduction penny farthing, I understand the attention you get. The restored original was so much harder to ride to the point the reproduction was almost nimble.
Do not ask what it took Hank to ride this penny farthing. Ask what it took him not to utter the word "Chavenage" - even while standing in front of it, on top of a penny farthing and wearing a top hat.
Missed opportunity to use power meter pedals. I'd love to know what kind of work that ride actually took! But great video. Just great fun with the love of cycling.
Do you want to see Hank take on another penny farthing adventure? 🤣
Didn’t Hank say he would do it on a uni-cycle, which would he be quicker on?
London to Paris maybe........think that might break him 🤣
Not had Mark Beaumont on for a while, I'm sure he'd be happy to ride with Hank up Bealach na Bà 😂
100 miles charity ride maybe?
Perhaps a top 30 Strava KOM finish... Any hill of his choice
It was nice to see Hank acknowledging the peasants as he rode through the villages!
he does have a manor lol
@@rogersimmons8788 I'm sure he would have spat on them were he not on camera.
😂
Quoting a line from Mel Brooks movie - " The peasants are revolting! Yes, they do smell!"
Change ‘the’ for ‘his’ x2
The random group ride was spectacular.
"as aerodynamic as Connor Dunne" 😂😂
The replacement was called the safety-bike for good reason.
Hank looked more at home on the PF than he did on the recumbent a few weeks ago. Well done Hank, willing to go where no other GCN presenter dares to go! 😂😂
Hank actually looked stylish with top hat
10:05 Can't wait for that episode!
* steps out of alley way * "Ah sh*t, here we go again"
It just HAD to be Hank that took on this challenge... amazing!
Bravo. I doubt I could ride a PF 50 feet before crashing.

Manor house, top hat, penny farthing?
Yep, it’s gotta be a GCN Hank epic. ❤
Well done to whoever filmed it. No engine sounds, so I assume they were on something electric.
Def got a tons of smiles from me!! I know Penny Farthings aren't exactly easy to ride, let alone ride 50 miles in one go. Great job Hank!!
I'm amazed to see you on a penny farthing after the last time Hank! I just can't believe the crazy stunts you end up doing on GCN - massive CHAPEAU! 👏
Wonderful video. When you think Hank has done everything, GCN finds a way to up the game. Well done Hank. Love the scenery. Was a bit concerned in a few parts, especially after watching Conor's segment on Road Rage.
"good show, chap!"
Feels like something one should say anytime they dismount a pennyfarthing
"i dont think the penny farthing was made for hillclimb"
Time to prove that wrong by putting Andrew Feather on one
Lovely to see Swindon Wheelers pop up in the video, great club to ride with!
Thanks for doing this Hank!
And thanks to the great editing and sound!
@GCN~Trying to kill Son-of-Hank's-Dad is NOT a corporate mission statement! It is nerve-shattering entertainment though. Probably the scariest 'real-life' ride I have ever seen on the Tube. SO thankful you survived...a testament to your riding skill.
A great site to see and you dismounted safely and unaided AND mostly uninjured this time!👍 Thx, Hank 🎄
Incredible Ride & Super Fun video :)
Good sport! At least you had a decent seat this time. Love the modern touches - nicely shaped bar with bar ends.
Up next: Hank does Paris-Roubaix on a unicycle.
Would have liked to see how Hank got on and off of it.
Hank takes on some right challenges! What a great spirit!
the man, the icon, the legend, thank you Hank
Interesting how Hank is so comfortable on a Penny Farthing and such a mess on a Recumbent. Well done Hank.
Awesome! The surprise for me was that riding a penny farthing turned Hank into Matt Stephens! The joy in that laugh 😊🤣
gravel penny farthing - wow!
That was wonderful, I find my self wanting one. No hills lol thanks hank and gcn. Happy hollidays, great show.
Well done James, who else but you would do something this ridiculous. 😊
thank you editor for the sound in the beginning. We all remember THAT video of Hank trying to beat the 1h record.
I saw an old gent riding one around Beckenham this morning. Chapeau
Bring that to Iowa the last week of July and ride that thing across the whole state with me and about 20,000 other cyclists. It will be fun I promise! 😂
Dude that's risking the old chap so close to your wedding ;)
Did he say something about "I'd rather ride a unicycle" ? ;-) do it! Please!
Needs aerobars and a disc on the back.
I put pf in the same bag as fixies and unicycles... They are all majestic! They are so complicated for any kind of diverse terrain cycling. They all definitely have a place in competitive cycling and they are all fun in casual cycling
Hank, you are The Man! After what happened to you on the velodrome, doing this is absolutely epic. Good show!
Well done Hank! Looks like this one was a lot ore fun than the last go :)
I foresee a 20 minute GCN Tech video of Hank testing a LOT of saddles before agreeing to do this ride.
Some genuine laugh out loud moments in that one.
Had to be Hank! Brilliant!
Well done Hank. Go for the 100 miler!
Hank is risking his giblets and all again for our entertainment. Out of the way peasants!!
The ultimate kom record that no one will break
@7:51 7a in Fairford! A great cafe with absolutely superb brownies (available on mail order too).
What's the lands end to John o'groats record? Just asking
Anything thinking what I’m thinking? Andrew Feather doing a few hills on the penny Farthing 🤣
0:56 For aerodynamics, the Victorians clearly took inspiration from sprinting T-Rexes.
Hank you are an absolute legend , I think you and Mark should do the NC500 on penny farthings
Love these wacky ideas, chiefly when it involves Hank. More please!
'Twas most enjoyable to see Lord Hank of pain and grit head out for a jolly on his steel steed.
Of course it's Hank. Poor guy always gets the craziest challenges
Since you seem to be as mad as a hatter, you might just as well have worn the top hat all the way. Brilliant video. Made us all finish with a big smile on our faces.
I would like to see the list of things Hank has refused to do.
Way to go Jimbo!!
Good to see you avoided a "crowning".
I'll take that as a win! 😵💫
Hank, spending a day in Conor's shoes.
Yep a 100 miler pref in summer
plus another phobia , a foot accidentally caught in a wheel
well, you got that off the bucket list early in life
Fantastic. I want one now!
There is a guy that rides RAGBRAI every year on a penny farthing
😮
The front wheel drive channel.
Hank should do a show on how to make a penny fasting more aero????
AND....you need to upgrade that sucker , Carbon frame and wheels , tubeless , disc brake , the works ! Come on lads !!
Yes 100 miles on gravel and some real tough mountain bike trails, perhaps some jumps, maybe even a half pipe.
My wife's great grandfather did 10,000 miles on a penny farthing
Go Hank!! 🙌
Hank: "I'd rather do that on a unicycle". videographer: "did we get that on video?"
Now this shows how dedicated you really are as a long distance cyclist 🚴♂️!
"I'd rather do this on a unicycle!" ... don't give the producers any ideas (and don't tell them I'd watch that video, too).
What must the crosswinds be like that high up. Another great adventure from Hank.
I heard Hank say he'd rather do it on a unicycle. Next vid right the me thinks. 😂😂
Does Lord Hankington ever worry that he might become a stereotype?
Love it though 😂
Hank was pulling 😂
Fair play Hank You Nutter😁
I am inspired to try something ridiculous like this.
I’ve ridden in England a few times with friends, mostly in Devon. It’s beautiful there, but the hedgerows block your view for the most part. A penny farthing would help out a bit.
Finally Hank and the penny are back! Glutton for punishment. lol Now use this for your wedding!
10:05 said it himself… GCN make it happen 😂
When will the 'We try to kill Hank' BlueRay Box be available?
Having ridden both a restored original and a reproduction penny farthing, I understand the attention you get. The restored original was so much harder to ride to the point the reproduction was almost nimble.
Hank’s next challenge: ride a Penny Farthing up Alp d’Huez.
Come on Hank!
Used to work at spokes cycles in Ruislip the owner and his brother did the London to bright on penny farthing reps. Made the news.
Bloody hell! Did they walk up Ditchling Beacon?
An e assisted farthing would be awesome
Lights on helmet Hank!
God bless Hank
Well done. Fortunately Hank was not on the "onion" crusher saddle 🤣😂
Absolutely mad!
Hank finally getting that “Conor view”
I'm now really looking forward to the next big cycling fad.
Behold, the Gravel farthing 😂
Next: is penny farthing better than gravelbikes? 😂
Think about the high profile carbon wheel you could get!
Do not ask what it took Hank to ride this penny farthing. Ask what it took him not to utter the word "Chavenage" - even while standing in front of it, on top of a penny farthing and wearing a top hat.
Hank the Penny Farthing Tank!
Waiting to see them put that bike on a scale.
well done
Missed opportunity to use power meter pedals. I'd love to know what kind of work that ride actually took!
But great video. Just great fun with the love of cycling.
