Sherlock Holmes: 10: The Solitary Cyclist

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Barry Foster as Sherlock Holmes and David Buck as Dr Watson
dramatised by MICHAEL BAKEWELL
with Miriam Margolyes as Violet Smith
"Two weeks ago I was on the loneliest part of the road when I looked behind me and saw a man on a bicycle. He had a short, dark beard. I looked back before I reached Farnham, but the man was gone, and I thought no more about it. But you can imagine how surprised I was, Mr Holmes, when on my return on the Monday I saw the same man on the same stretch of road."
