Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 11:09PM | in mailbag In Episode 27, we laugh-cried about ridiculous old-timey bikes, and Colin introduced us to the pennyfarthing, the dandyhorse, and the velocipede. Elisha G from Twitter shared a masterpiece and made all of our fuzzy paleontologic dreams comes true:
VELOCIRAPTOR ON A VELOCIPEDE.

This girl is totally talented and rocks! I wish her the best in her success! Keep up the artwork and I look forward to seeing more from you! R.Benton
AWESOME ELISHA G! That would be an awesome design for a tee shirt!
Monocle - check. Top hat - check. Tea cup?! - check.
YES. THIS.
Would the penny farthing have saved the Velociraptor from extinction?
We can only wonder.
The top hat certainly would have been a poor substitue for a proper cycling helmet. And given the presumably poor condition of cycle trails/paths available during the Cretaeous Period, I fear their demise was assured.
Strangely, the position and odd proportion of the raptor's tiny arms seem more ideally suited to the penny farthing than those for a human.
