Four members of the Settle Ambulance Division transporting a simulated patient on two tandem bicycles
In the country lanes of Settle, North Yorkshire, at the turn of the twentieth century, these four men provide a formidable method of transporting the sick and injured to a place of safety. Unlike some bicycle litters where the patient would face away, the example in this photograph shows the patient facing the direction of travel.
