Hi Chris,
found my solution to boaty activity without risking the water: http://www.rowinghistory.net/Patents/642,544.pdf. A stumbled find when looking for Barrett rowlocks for the Rangeley! One of those sites you just get sucked into - another hour wasted when I should have been clearing the shed!
Cheers Chris
This is it - a sliding seat bicycle:
This frightening machine was invented by one Louis S Burbank from Worcester, Massachusetts in 1900. Looks as if it could go fast - can't see any brakes, though.

Reminds me of the Goon Show, when Seagoon was sent to South America on business and told to take the company's bike.
ReplyDeleteSeagoon: "But it's overseas."
