Dear Dr Bicycle column on blind riders and penny farthings
A reader asks if a totally blind person can ride a bicycle and answers discuss safe options. The column notes blind riders use adult tricycles with guidance, tandem bikes, or improvised four wheeled setups, and mentions penny farthings as old two wheelers with very large front wheels. It also covers standing while riding and opinions on horns and bells for safety.
