EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Pensioner Patrick Thomas fearlessly embarking on his unconventional adventure aboard a lying down bicycle equipped with floats. It was an experiment that would forever be etched in the memories of those present on that fateful day, May 11th, 1972. With expressions of excitement and determination visible on his face, Patrick set sail on the River Thames at Laleham. However, fate had different plans for him as soon as the chain came off. The baking tin paddle attached to his contraption began relentlessly hitting the handlebars, causing chaos and panic to ensue. As water started seeping into every crevice of his peculiar vessel, it became clear that this voyage was doomed from the start. Despite its flaws and inevitable failure, one cannot help but admire Patrick's unwavering spirit and sense of humor throughout this unusual endeavor. This photograph captures not only a moment in time but also showcases human resilience and our innate desire to explore even when faced with adversity. It serves as a reminder that age is no barrier to pursuing hobbies or inventing new things; rather, it is an opportunity for us all to embrace life's quirks and find joy in unexpected places. Alisdair MacDonald's lens skillfully encapsulates this unforgettable scene - an elderly man defying convention while sinking gracefully into the depths of the River Thames.
