- Interview with International Penny-farthing trick champion, Pete Matthews, 76 year old native of Dublin, Ireland.
Pete's accomplishments include being one of less than 20 people ever to have ridden across America on a high-wheeled bike from the 1880s in 2004 along with Gary Sanderson. He finished in 1st place in the Evandale Veterans (over 70) Penny Farthing Championship in Tasmania in both 2006 and 2007.
In this video, Pete shows us his collection of antique bikes, and tells us about his 60+ years in cycling, trick-riding, bicycle polo, restoration, mischief, and parades.
A real legend next door!
That was my grandad! Rest in peace.
This is my uncle Peter who sadly past away yesterday Christmas day. He was some man for one man a complete gentleman all his life. Rest in peace 🥰😍
RIP good ol’ fellow. I made several rides with him through Europe. I will never forget him.
I am very sorry to hear that, Angela, and sorry for your loss. Peter was an absolute gent and we had such a fantastic time seeing his collection, hearing his stories, and of course seeing his incredible talent.
My grandad. Rest in peace

Hi Ruth, he seems like an amazing character, is the museum open to visitors or just for his own amusement/hobby.
He IS a real legend, and the sweetest guy in the world! (We miss you Ron Sant!)
