There was a new development in the story of “no bikes in the village” at Ham yesterday. One of the sheds at Ham School in which cycles belonging to Games competitors must be stored had a broken paling, shown in the photograph being inspected by Mr D. J. Morris, one of the training officer’s assistants.
The paling broke away and it seemed a simple matter for the thin wall — secured padlocked as it was — to be pulled away.
And there were four cycles in the village yesterday. Away in the sheds behind the Kenyan team’s quarters at Christchurch College were four trustworthy machines. But they were hardly of the racing variety and all were securely fastened by a great length of chain and padlocks.
