Deutsch: Hochrad, Hochräder, historische Fahrräder, bei denen das Pedal ohne Umsetzung direkt das große Vorderrad antreibt.

English: Penny-farthing (high wheel, high wheeler) – term used to describe a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel that was popular after the boneshaker, until the development of the safety bicycle, in the 1880s. They were the first machines to be called "bicycles".

Français : Grand-bi, tel était le nom en français de ce vélocipède qui nécessitait un escabeau pour être enfourché.

Polski: Bicykl – rodzaj roweru dwukołowego, z wielkim przednim kołem i małym tylnym. Konstrukcja przedniego koła o tak dużej średnicy była możliwa dopiero po patencie Jamesa Starleya i Williama Huntera w 1870 na koło z drutowymi szprychami, pracującymi na rozciąganie.

Español: Biciclo - Precedente de la bicicleta, caracterizado por sus pedales fijos en el eje de su gran rueda delantera.
