Not sure what the difference is supposed to be between pics 5 and 6, but if it's what I think it is, I've done four.

I find it quite sad to reflect on the wheel like that....I think the morgue pull out slabs are on a wheel bearing :(

Great invention though and I wonder who made the first wheel and if it was a stone wheel. I think its in my Brooke Bond inventors and inventions album :)

It wasn't until the invention of the second wheel that things really started moving...

What no motorbikes then? All except last two. At 64 I'm now on an e bike for off road. Getting up steep hills we struggled up twenty years ago.

Talking of bikes, I see the local 'bike sharing' scheme is off to a flying start.

They really should have known that this was doomed. There are loan bikes bloody everywhere. Dumped at the side of the road, outside Tesco, in parks, sticking out of hedges and I even saw one being carted off by the local scrap man. Surely they didn't expect the local scumbags and yobs to have any respect for such a project?

Only a matter of time before one of these Jeremy Kyle hopefuls hits on the idea that by loosening a couple of fasteners, they can engineer an accident, then sue the local authority.

Yes I would like to see the full facts about these schemes including that one in Manchester. I have spent all my cycling life learning how safe it is to leave a bike around.

Plenty of these scumbags around and if they cant nick it they will vandalise it for something to do. There are yobs and scum who just resent the fact that I am getting around well on a bike. I keep it local as even my (dont attract the thieves) bike wouldnt last long about the city centre.

These bike share schemes sound lovely and bohemian to the sloane crowd but I really dont see them working. Its gets costly fast when bikes constantly have to be repaired or fished out of canals.

There also seem too many rules about where to leave it and its starts defeating the pupose of easily getting around by bike. If I have to deal with collection points, sharing with people or spotting an available bike it becomes very awkward and unreliable. I dont really see the casual crowd taking to it. Nice idea but deeply flawed in practice

Only done 3 and 5 - still doing both, but the kids belong to my kids now - and where's the motorbike ? (Didn't do that one either !)

Hi Anthony, I originate from South Wales too, and in my infancy prams were few and far between... I think I was about 6 when I saw my first one and it belonged to my new-born niece (yes, 6). There was another one further up the valley but it was mainly used for carrying coal pinched from the colliery sidings. Happy Days!
