Sir, we have exhausted the supply spare tubes and patches, the max time for this section expired 20 minutes ago and Lady Mary wanted me to remind you that we have 20 guests for tonight’s Dinner back at the Embassy, including the Foreign Secretary.

    Early in the sport of bicycle racing cyclists were not allowed any assistance in repairing their bikes during the race. In one case a cyclist broke some important bit on his bike, and was thrown out of the race because he made it to a local blacksmith and someone else worked the bellows while he fixed the part.

    subhead:

    “Charming man renders aid”
