Kind of looks a lot like Dan Gurney's Gator bikes he built. Go little feller! where there is a will there is a way!
Excellent work. Fair play to the guy for not letting anything get in the way of him riding.

My last time to the fort would have been about 1988 so about the same time, I was in the area yesterday morning so I thought I'd take a look. My old boss has a flat on the opposite side so I rang her and waved like mad but she couldn't see me and I couldn't see her. The Thames is wider than I remembered there and our aged eyesight poorer than it once was.
In 2012 on the opening day of the Olympics i did the Clipper Boat Trip up the Thames from Woolwich right up to Tower Bridge ( you know the one the USA thought it was buying, must have been a shock when they unpacked London Bridge ) watched the opening ceremony fireworks from there. Was a great evening, London looks great from the river as the old buildings were designed to face it as it was the Motorway of its day. I believe they widened the Thames to accomodate all the bullshit coming out of Parliament. I think they should have doubled it. Used to go down to the docks with my Dad he used to work for Seiko.
Finished my chores and rode the trials bike for a little bit.

Looking at this set-up, what could possibly go wrong?
On October 3, 1903, 24-year-old General Electric employee William Nelson [1879-1903] took the new motorized bicycle he had invented out for a test spin. He fell off the bike on a hill and died instantly. According to the New York Times, 'Nelson was regarded as an inventor of much promise.'

Reportedly another view of him. Enough differences that I wonder which version of his bike was first?
