A to B Profile - Alexander Henshaw

NAME: Alexander Henshaw

AGE: Nine

STATUS: Essential member of personnel, providing feed-back on child trailers, child seats and small bicycles.

SPECIALIST SUBJECT: Anything with wheels, but trains probably top the list, followed by diggers, tractors and white vans, in no particular order. Currently showing some interest in music.

TRANSPORT: Unusually, travelled to the hospital by bicycle and train as a fetus, and came back by train and car as a very small baby. Graduated from North Barrow toddler group to four-mornings-a-week at Galhampton play school, Somerset in late 2002. Alexander was the only child to arrive by bike trailer at Galhampton, or possibly anywhere else in South Somerset. Graduated to Castle Cary Primary School in September 2003, travelling by Brompton trailer bike, bike trailer, Puky 18-3B and 'junior' Brompton. For several years Alexander was the only pupil to arrive on two wheels, which is a bit sad, but this is the UK. We've now moved to Dorchester, where cycling is much more widespread, so Alexander is one of many riding bikes or scooters to Manor Park Junior.
