| Description: | Banstead, Surrey. Various shots of engineer Russell Searle getting onto the 'armchair' bicycle he designed, outside a row of Georgian houses. There is a "spacious, adjustable seat" and the pedals are higher and further forward than a regular bike. It does look quite comfortable. He cycles along streets, stops at a junction and then cycles off. (reclining cycle) | |
