On Saturday morning I ran a Doctor Bike locally and was
pleased to have Sir George Young come along to help. Usually
he wears a panama, but was bare-headed today ;-) He's a very
approachable and knowledgeable MP.

And a report of the morning where we 'fixed' around 25
bikes:

Most disturbing bike was one that had *already* been taken
to Halfords to have the brakes checked. The rider was unsure
they had done the job properly as it "still didn't feel
right". On examination, the rear brake blocks were at a
45deg angle, with one side rubbing against the tyre and the
other pulling up below the rim :-(
