High Wheels Bikes. (En inglés)

Why high wheel bicycles in the 21st century ? The challenge, the drama, the sence of freedom and the posibilty that bicycles originally offered are vividly present with high wheel bicycles. The unlikely marriage of man and machine that cycling entails becomes obvious to all on a highwheeler, when it has been lost by the ubiquity of conventional bikes. Quite simply, the larger the front wheel the faster you go and the problem is not, as you might imagine, going uphill but keeping control while coming downhill at breakneck speed.
