WHEN Stephen Phythian took part in a sponsored bike ride the former rugby league player realised there was a problem.
As a big lad, the saddle was simply too small.
So, the experienced motor mechanic decided to tackle the problem himself and has designed a special bike seat for overweight people.
Now he needs someone to help him bring the idea to market and let’s hope a business or organisation will.
Encouraging overweight people to enjoy this exercise is a genuine health boon – and congratulations to Stephen for getting on his bike to find a comfortable and clever way forward.
