A Canadian woman with a talent for riding big-wheeled bikes broke two speed records at an Australian track while pedaling a penny farthing.
Lizanne Wilmot climbed her Victorian-style bicycle in Burnie, Tasmania, and broke the Guinness World Records for the fastest speed on a penny farthing (female) and fastest 1 kilometer on a penny farthing (female).
Wilmot rode the 1 kilometer (.62 mile) distance in a time of 52.75 seconds. Her top speed was clocked at 25.92 mph.
Wilmot previously held the record for the farthest distance on a penny farthing in one hour (female), but she lost the title to British woman Melissa Eisdell.
