Stratford: Jeremy Vine helps break Penny Farthings world records

Cyclists on Penny Farthings have broken 12 Guinness World Records at a gathering in east London on Sunday.

The 140-strong group, which included BBC presenter Jeremy Vine, made up the largest number of Penny Farthing riders in an upright stack, which previously stood at 131.

All riders in the stack had to stay in position for more than three minutes, before they cycled from the Herne Hill velodrome to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park velodrome.

A spokesperson for Guinness World Records confirmed that a total of 12 world record attempts by the group and individuals during the event were broken, including the largest number of Penny Farthing racers in a velodrome.
