Riding around the world on a penny farthing?! Joff Summerfield on circumnavigating the globe on one wheel and being robbed at knifepoint

When Joff Summerfield set out to ride around the globe on his handmade penny farthing in 2006, he sold absolutely everything he owned to fund the adventure – and start with a clean slate. As he set off, his whole world was packed into a small rucksack on his back and some panniers on top of his penny farthing.Joff’s story is one of the most stunning that Rob and Eliot have discovered on Just Ride so far. Most of it must be heard to be believed! From being robbed at knifepoint in Ecuador and accidentally eating dinner in a Chinese home, to freewheeling down the Himalayas and taking in the Millennium New Year in Paris, Joff’s journeys have been like no other.And that’s all while rolling round the world on a 49in fixed-gear penny farthing. His current steed has done nearly 40,000 miles. As you can imagine, Rob and Eliot couldn’t get their heads around it.As well as his physical feats, Joff also has a refreshing outlook on life – never travelled but want to? Do it! You’ll find a way.
