My dad was always a bit of a hipster.
In His 20s he rode a Penny Farthing bicycle, then, in later life, a 1939 Riley.
In his 70’s, made himself a Coracle, which he attempted to paddle on the Thames, near Chelsea Bridge. He was intercepted by a policeman.
The second voyage was more successful: in the pond outside his house, on Wandsworth Common.
