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.
For a pic of him helping:

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 :-(
