Ruth Cowin and a vintage bike with an important message

One to Three

Thursday, 22 August 2024 - 5 minutes

A rare bike which won the 1923 Senior TT will be displayed on Sunday in Douglas. It was ridden by Tom Sheard, who was the first Manxman to win a TT race the previous year.

Tom's granddaughter lost her son Daniel to bowel cancer shortly after this year's TT races and she has decided to put her grandfather’s bike on display to help raise awareness of the condition.

She's been speaking to Manx Radio's William King about Daniel, the bike and her grandfather Tom.

NB: The bike will be on display from 10:30am-3pm on Sunday (25th August) at IOM Trike Tours on Castle Mona Avenue in Douglas.
