Yes, this is "Cycling Teddy" who was orignally to be motorised and pedalling the microbike on a static stand. Howeever, the technical difficulties proved to be insurmountable in the time available, and so he was relegated to be a static exhibit. His predecessor (who cost only 40p at a car boot sale) turned out to be too big for the bike and was therefore made redundant. We resisted the temptation to have him as a guy on the November 5th bonfire and so he now sits on a trapeze high up under Sutton Lane Bridge. This one is "Sutton Teddy". Give him a wave as you pass by.
And very smart the tree looks too with many comments when people catch a glimpse of the slowly rotating tree and think they are seeing things! All cleverly designed by Les of course. Mavis
