Here is a talk for the thousands of cyclists who are acting as messengers throughout the country at this time of crisis, and are so helping our Defence Services-the Home Guard, the A.R.P., the A.F.S. If, during an air raid, roads are badly damaged, it may well be the cyclist who alone can get through. The man with the pedal bicycle can carry it round a, bomb crater.
Messenger corps are attached to all the voluntary organisations under two schemes, the one run by the National Cyclists' Union and the other by the Cyclists' Touring Club, and Alex. Josey will say something of the work of both.
