 In 1870&nbsp; an Englishman James Starley improved on the French "boneshaker" and produced the Penny Farthing Bicycle - so called as it resembled the side view of&nbsp;a larger British penny&nbsp;followed by a small&nbsp;farthing coin.&nbsp;James Starley became known as&nbsp;the father of the bicycle industry. Others began producing the bicycles with front wheels at an ever increasing size <br>The larger front wheel of up to 60 inches (1.5 m) enabled higher speeds on bicycles limited to direct drive.&nbsp; By the&nbsp;late 1890s&nbsp;the "safety" bicycle was beginning to emerge and heralded the decline of the Penny Farthing.
-The Penny Farthing &nbsp;bicycle on display at the Mallala Museum &nbsp;was made in 1885 &nbsp;by Hillman Herbert and Cooper in Coventry England and imported to Australia by&nbsp;Harris Scarfe Ltd of Adelaide.&nbsp; It was&nbsp;purchased by Samuel Temby for use by the family. His son Harold Temby became adept at riding the bicycle and was regularly seen riding along Temby Road to Middle Beach. (Probably&nbsp;only a dirt track)

 Years later Harold moved to live in a cottage on the corner of&nbsp;Aerodrome Road and Joseph Street&nbsp;Mallala&nbsp;and he rode the bicycle at times around the town of Mallala. Harold &nbsp;purchased a conventional two wheeler and the Penny Farthing was confined to the back shed where it gathered dust for many years.
-In&nbsp; c.1960 a relative persuaded Harold to&nbsp;sell him the bicycle and so Lance Tiller became the proud owner.&nbsp; Many months were spent in practicing his skills on the Penny Farthing until he felt confident to apply to participate in the John Martins Christmas Pageant held in Adelaide South Australia each year.&nbsp; Thus began Lance's long association with the pageant in which he rode for 40 consecutive&nbsp;years.&nbsp; An outstanding effort.
