Last week I saw an auld manny hurling his bike but he also had a walking stick with him. I pondered where he was going to put the walking stick whilst riding his bike. We went in separate directions, so I didn't see his solution. However, it minded me of back in the day when the sports equipment maker Terry produced a clamp which bolted onto the front fork of a bike into which a tennis racquet, a hockey stick, or at a pinch an upside down cricket bat could be stowed, thus making for safe carriage when going to and from school. Obviously Terry came up with the thing confident of a good market, although pobably only posh kids or very keen ones could afford their own racquets etc.. Does this imply however, that a lot more youngsters biked to school in the fifties & sixties - ?
