Have you ever tried to ride a penny farthing bicycle?

With a massive front wheel and a tiny wheel at the back, just getting onto one can be a struggle.

But seven-year-old Finn and six-year-old Flo have just made history on one.

The brother and sister have officially set a Guinness World Record for riding the world's smallest rideable penny farthing.

Penny farthings are famous for their differently sized wheels, which are named after two British coins that were used in the 19th Century.

The large wheel at the front is the penny, the much smaller one at the back is the farthing, which was worth a quarter of a penny.

How small was the penny farthing bike?

Finn focuses on the finish line ahead of his world record

The tiny bicycle, nicknamed Little Bee, has a front wheel measuring just 29 centimetres (11.4 inches) across – about the size of a dinner plate.

Despite the bike's mini size, both siblings successfully rode the distance on their first attempts - securing their place in the Guinness World Records books.

Record adjudicator, Juliet Dawson, praised the pair saying their feat was "joyful, unusual and incredibly skilful all at once".

Flo and Finn made their record-breaking rides at the City of London Nocturne - a big cycling event.

Finn and Flo celebrate with their official certificates

The siblings' family are already big fans of penny farthings.

Flo and Finn's mum, Julie, previously held a Guinness World Record for the fastest kilometre on a penny farthing by a woman.

And Flo and Finn weren't the only record breakers at the event in London.

Other new records included the largest rideable penny farthing, the fastest 100 metres on a penny farthing while juggling, and the fastest 100 metres on a unicycle while blindfolded.

So we want to know, if you could try to break any world record, what would it be?
