An ex-London Fire Brigade hose layer bike that accompanied a 1960s-era hose layer, a specialised fire appliance that carried huge quantities of hoses to connect distant fire hydrants or other water sources to the scene of a fire. The vehicle would be dispatched to support major emergencies where local water supplies might be insufficient to fight the fire. 

The expected distance between the appliance and the water sources was so long that two of these bicycles were carried internally to assist in quickly towing the hoses to the hydrants. The bike also carried connection pieces and a hydrant key.

Thanks to Andy Arthur’s Flickr stream for this one.

Andy Arthur rightly points out that quiet routes all too often leave cyclists as second class citizens in city transport networks.
