The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their
natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this

walls or standing propped by one foot at kerbstones.

turns as much as possible. Never apply your front brake first.'These are interesting rules', I said drily.
'If you follow them', said the Sergeant, 'you will save your soul and you
will never get a fall on a slippy road.'===
