Something about bikes.

Someone on twitter was pondering why the cycling group 'Critical Mass' might be included on a list of terror groups. They speculated that maybe Priti Patel had been frightened by a bike in the past, possibly when she had the stabilisers taken off. This reminded me of when my sister & me were kids, before we got the bikes we wanted, we used to do a pretend, late(ish) night 'radio' show called 'Bikes'. The theme tune went 'Bikes, Bikes, Bikes, Bikes...' etc. and we'd just lie in our beds blethering on about why bikes were dangerous and should be banned. We listed lots of ways you could be killed on a bike, including getting hit by a train because we lived near a railway. Sometime round Christmas 1975, we got our bikes and the show was cancelled.
Here's a poem about my first bike.
