A Bicycle for Life-Saving at Sea
LAST March one of the Institution's contractors forwarded to it a letter inquiring if there were any kind of bicycle " used at summer resorts for saving life," as the writer was " about to invent a bicycle of that kind," either an ordinary or a motor bicycle.
Reference was made in the Press to the proposed invention, and it immediately brought an inquiry from an inventor of an appliance for walking on the sea ! But the Institution is continuing to build Life-boats.
