The bike sees the two bearers sitting next to each other as they pedal with the baton itself safely attached in front of the handlebars.

After a great reception in Carnoustie the baton is making the 1.5 mile (2.4km) journey along to East Haven by bike.

He has devoted his life to sport and formed the Carnoustie Claymore Swimming Club in 2010.

The club runs seven days a week and teaches children of all ages. Andy is heavily involved in coaching the children, many of whom nominated him to become a baton bearer.
