Just above the small wheel at the back there is a little stub sticking out of 
the frame tube.  That's your help.  You scoot along side, foot on the peg, then 
vault into the saddle.  Get it right or suffer the consequences

For stopping, slow down enough that you can scoot down the frame tube and put 
your foot on the peg before dropping off and coming to a halt.

Looks like a modern replica.

I could be wrong, but it looks like this guy may have put a Campagnolo
hug and cranks on the front.  Scott?  Stan?  Cesar?  Anyone other
bike-types have any thoughts?

Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure those aren't Campy rims...

;-)

The guy is wearing what look like Shimano cycling shoes (I wonder why
he doesn't have clipless pedals?), so he's obviously done a bit of
cycling.

I'd love to try a penny farthing - just to say I've done it.
Apparently getting up and going is the tough part - that and stopping
without doing an endo.

Fun pic, Dave!

cheers,
frank

I've seen footage of someone riding one of these down a slope on the  
hills around here.  For some reason the front tyre detached from the  
rim and I don't think the rider had much fun after that.
