I first wrote this little piece over thirty years ago, and finally it looks like someone has actually taken my advice. It was on the evening news that a church in Torbay is offering cycle repairs...
SALFORD
MADNESS
COMMUNITY
CHURCH
If
I was the vicar
of this church
the first thing
I'd do is
take
down the sign
that says:
No right of way
to
public
No cycling
I'd invite the kids
down to spray
paint
the walls
I'd stick up a
notice that said:
Public right of
way
Cyclists welcome
punctures repaired
But perhaps
there's
a method in their
madness after all.
