In terms of bicycle design – the Starley Rover was developed back in 1888, and the geometry hasn’t changed all that much since then (well, at least in comparison to the difference between the Rover and your drop-handlebar touring bike, and the penny farthing and your bike
But also spare a thought for a guy named Thomas Stevens who rode right around the world on a Penny Farthing between 1884 and 1886. Imagine how his hands and butt felt after that!

Looks like a good trip, and this time of year Yes the old SON helps. We’re either going to kick a S24O soon or just ride more stupid miles out in the middle of nowhere.

Try butterfly bars. They give you different places to hold the bars.
