Were you a policeman?

No. The family spent all its money on boats (I had my own boat long
before I had my own bike) and it was an ex-army job which my dad
picked up in a junk shop for fifty pence. I rode it for about four
years between when I was about twelve and when I was sixteen, and
actually did a lot of miles (and had a lot of fun) on it. It left me
with an abiding hatred for Sturmey Archer gears.
