          This Extraordinary Tale Continues……..
                                    !

                                      In two places the coping made a zigzag by the road
                                    widening, and here he had to steer through a very
                                    narrow  space  at  right  angles.  As  the  young  man
                                    negotiated  this  ticklish  spot,  and  a  similar  spot  a
                                    little  further  on,  not  a  single  one  of  the  horrified
                                    spectators  could  draw  a  breath  for  fear!  From
                                    there  to  the  end  was  a  short,  straight  run  and  he
                                    completed  his  dangerous  ride  and  dismounted,
                                    waving to the frightened men and women witnesses.

                                      Calmly  remounting  his  Star  bicycle,  he  rode  off
                                    towards  the  city  as  though  it  was  his  everyday
                                    activity - but it appears that he had been challenged
                                    to prove he had the ability and nerve to perform it -
                                    which he undoubtedly did!.
