A young chap who lives along the road from Chateau Wow was out with his dog yesterday, a lively young boxer. It was pulling him along on his bike on an extended lead.
Everything looked fine until the dog dodged round a protruding bit of fence, whereupon the cyclist realised he wasn't going to be able to steer round and applied the brakes.
The dog just carried on and the bike's rear wheel lifted alarmingly. The cyclist managed to avoid falling off, but it was a pretty inelegant end to what had looked quite good to begin with. He walked the last few yards home.
