Six man bike

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

In 1976 my brother designed and built a 6 man bike for an Essex round Table group for fund raising activities. In 1988 he moved to the South Coast where he still lives. Thirty six years later In January 2011, myself, my daughters and fiances stayed with my brother over the weekend. My brother showed us the drawings, photos and plans for the bike 'How I wish i knew what became of that bike. I know it was ridden to Hamburg and used for all sorts of fund raising activities in this country.' were his last words on the subject that evening. Two days later one of the fiances visited his local pub In Biggleswade, Bedfordshire where the landlord asked him if he would like to help with fund raising activities involving a six man bike. Yes it was the same Bike !!!! A reunion of all involved in 1976 took place in July 2011.
