Three-seater bike tackles loneliness among the elderly

It's called a trishaw and it could transform the lives of the elderly.

The three-wheeled, motorised bike can carry two passengers, and it's being used to help people living on their own to get out and about more.

The scheme started in Denmark five years ago, and has spread worldwide.

Now, campaigners are trying to raise £7000 to bring a trishaw to a village in Sussex, as Malcolm Shaw reports.
