A breathtaking commute with a dash of danger

“You arrive invigorated, excited, full of energy, full of drive, full of ideas,” says Tom Prideaux-Brune. “It only makes the day better.”

He’s referring to his unusual mode of transport to work. He straps onto his back a harness attached to a netted hoop and a paraglider, which is powered by a motorised propeller. He takes a few steps and ascends into the air, travelling at around 50km an hour on his way to work.
