a transport option it's relatively inexpensive it's good for the climate and of course it's a great way to keep fit but for many it's also a lifestyle and a style choice especially if you're a fan of the old fashioned aesthetic and some people take that to the absolute extreme with nostalgic penny farthing models so we found a high winner as they're also called enthusiast and designer to explain their special element of charm. to. win a pair all of people pedals through the town of tommy in southern sweden his high real bicycle is a real eye catcher. for people there's nothing quite like riding with his head almost in the clouds. they are just. right it's for you to feel. sure of feel.

passion love. a mad. and joy. in two thousand and thirteen people decided to start building high wheelers himself his novels aren't copies of historical models but modern versions. a standard high will cost fifteen hundred euros and up. it's really an icon and it's iconic to sign a bicycle the simplicity i'm an architect myself and i'm a really really an lie the simple design the function the function give. a simple design functionality and high quality that's what peril of kibbles high we'll stand for. but when it comes to practicality he is willing to make a few compromises. if not practical at all you

have. no dears. normally no brakes you can put a brake but on this bike there is no brake either. if something interrupt you on the road you can just put on the feet or stop you have to jump off so. there are no practical reasons there are other reasons and that's the reason for having fun. fun is the primary criterion for the members of the berlin historical bicycle club as well they meet regularly for a ride in the countryside on their old sometimes historical bicycles. most of these bicycles date from the first half of the twentieth century. to round out the picture club members like to dress in period costume like one nine hundred thirty south fitz or knickerbockers. i like the aesthetic of the old

bicycles more than the new ones i'm always surprised at how well the old bicycles ride new bikes are boring so i started going for the old ones. you don't know how to drive just for the riskier to stop on. old bicycles are not just a passion they're also a folk ation he's a bicycle dealer and his museum shop in berlin spandau district is an outlet for historical replacement parts business is booming. more and more young people are interested in all icicles. so demand has increased. and if you look at. outlandish prices just a complete absurdity. the feeling of riding a special bicycle one with patina instead of modern technology for many cyclists including pair of people that is the biggest appeal.
