The Innocence of Age.— “An old gentleman of 71, who was had up by the English police for not having proper brakes on his bicycle, said to the magistrates that he was “guilty but innocently.” explaining that the bicycle itself was 51 years old, and that bicycle manufacturers had not known, in those days, how to make efficient brakes. The old gentleman got off pretty lightly.” —Cyril Ray broadcasting in the 8.8.C.’s General Overseas Service.
