My dear ‘friends’ here at Cummins namely John Izzard & Stephen Brentnall have now come up with one or two safety measures that I should have fitted to my bike or myself. Not content with putting up pictures of the Eurostar & fold up bicycles, which they are convinced I’m using, they now feel I should have these stabilisers fitted ‘just in case’. Ideally they should be hydraulic ones that slowly lower as my speed drops so that they are fully grounded when I come to a complete stop!! Secondly the other safety feature they have suggested is actually fitted to me. Izzy reckons that I should have a helium balloon fitted in a back pack that will inflate as I slow down, a keep me upright should I fail to uncling my feet! Bless them they are funny. NOT! Grant Glover, who used to work here and nicknamed me ‘Stinka’ (why? I don’t know) said I’ve actually got a motor on my bike…. It charges up on the down hills & kicks in on the uphills so I don’t have to pedal!! There are some many witty people around aren't there?
