Congratulations to Ben ,Mrs Ben and Ben jnr. Welcome to Ben(ette)

 

I've had a trip home in a wheel barrow home once, The weekend before I joined the police and we did get stopped on the way. Apparently could hear the squeak across the whole town. Didn't do to good on " hold on Martin about to turn left" I swung my arm out to indicate and promptly upset the cart dumping myself on the ground. Luckily I was well anaesthetised This was a long time ago, but not so long along ago that it was the reason for the wheel barrow

Robert william thomson actually invented and patented the pnuematic tyre, Dunlop takes the glory.

That's why I put "invented/developed" - Dunlop was undoubtedly the one who made it work by using vulcanised rubber 8-) There's even an argument that Leonardo Da Vinci of that Ilk was the actual inventor.

 

Where was the photo taken? Dunlop died in the twenties and it looks like he is riding a 19th Century machine but the guy behind him is on something much more modern than that, maybe a Sunbeam.

 

Congratulations to you, Ben. I've got one of those, too. Started a bit late in life but it's all good fun. So far......
