Joan Higgins of Elm Farm, Cosgrove, with her mororbike, custom built by Don Freestone from oddments pre-1939, and purchased for £4 after selling two pet lambs!

Jim Holman's three wheeled converted motorbike
Jim Holman seems to have been a highly persuasive person and with his inventive family set about becoming indispensible to the village.

He had many basket chairs and wheel chairs – hand pushed, self propelled, hand levered, then a chair adapted for a petrol engine by various friends. His younger brother recalls racing along behind this chair hanging onto its back from his bike. There was even a three wheeled converted motorbike.
