Ned Donovan was gobsmacked when he spotted him in Chelsea, west London.

Ned said: “Deliveroo rider on a penny farthing might be one of the most west London things I’ve ever seen.”

The unusual-looking bicycle was invented in 1871 by a British inventor named James Starley, as reported by Need To Know.

The bicycle has a small wheel at the back and a huge wheel at the front that would have riders almost six feet in the air.

Local, Tim Rennie stated: “When I said I wanted a delivery at about 18:50 that’s not quite what I meant.”

Mark-Kingsley Williams added: “Must be Jeremy Vine doing an undercover day as a Deliveroo rider.”

Will Regents stated: “I totally get that, the rider probably gets much more respect and courtesy from motorists than most cyclists do.

“Lower risk of dying in the streets.”

Owen Law said: “Delivery riders are sometimes a bit late but waiting since 1872 is ridiculous.”

Another said: “The dude is probably raking it in on tips alone.”
