The use of pneumatic tyres, which of late is being advertised by the young upstart Mr Dunlop, seems unlikely to catch on. How can it possibly work?! Be sure that your bicycle frame is hand crafted from locally grown ash staves, steam bent in a pressure chamber, and not from imported fast-grown timbers. This will provide the flexibility and strength combination that you require. Regular treatment with linseed oil will prevent woodworm and water damage. I also suggest you have a word with my tailor who has been working on some remarkably comfortable tweed plus two's and stockings, with a cork and horsehair gusset-plate. These will keep you in fine fettle, and walking tall when you arrive at your lodgings in Skegness. Also, use a military grade wax for your moustache, as a high speed descent can leave it looking particularly out of sorts. |
