Great work by Joff, not something i would do on a Penny Farthing, but a big achievement nonetheless. From memory it's still another 1-1.5yrs before he'll be allowed back in Australia...

He did have to change tyres several times, or just added rubber (it's in his touring records somewhere), but he didn't get flats (just the tire coming off the rim i think).
