It’s An Attention Grabber For Sure.
It’s a wooden bicycle but it has no wheel on the back. It’s got little legs that it walks with.
And that boneshaker big front wheel – I love those spiral spokes.
There are a couple of videos below which show this amazing bike in atcion

Ron Schroer’s Boneshaker Bigwheel superficially resembles the kind of old-timey bicycle called penny-farthing, but don’t be fooled: the all-wood machine actually crawls on a set of legs on the back.
Schroer says the project was inspired by Theo Jansen, the Dutch designer who makes wild and wooly wooden creations. Besides making the vehicle weirder and more fun, the legs allow it to traverse more rugged terrain.
