Zusammenfassung

Das Hochrad war einfach, effizient und elegant, aber es war eine evolutionäre Sackgasse. Um 1880 hatte es seinen Höhepunkt erreicht. Der Name „the ordinary“ (das Übliche), der im Vereinigten Königreich rasch angenommen wurde, um das Hochrad vom neueren Niederrad zu unterscheiden, zeugte davon, wie gut es sich etabliert hatte. Der Name, unter dem es der heutigen Öffentlichkeit vielleicht am besten bekannt ist, „Penny Farthing“, war britische Umgangssprache; er spielte auf das Größenverhältnis zwischen Vorder- und Hinterrad der Maschine an, indem er dies mit den Penny- und Farthing-Münzen (Viertelpenny) der damaligen Zeit verglich.
