Ron Schroer built the Bone Shaker Big Wheel

The Boneshaker Big Wheel is a wooden kinetic sculpture that combines the big front wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle and an articulating “walking” drive system inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of artist Theo Jansen. It can be pedaled by a rider much like a penny-farthing.

 Artist Ron Schroer created the sculpture for the 2014 OneSpark festival in Jacksonville, Florida.

the bottom clicks into the hood latch reciever, and the top gets held by the hood latch point. See the bottom photo
