Plot
Whilst eating his breakfast, Mr. Percival checks his watch and decides he must soon leave for work so, saying goodbye to his five children and wife. The trip to work on his bicycle was very tricky as the wind was blowing furiously. It's not long before the chain comes off. Then, Duke's driver passes in his car on his way to work and offers Mr. Percival a lift. Mr. Percival doesn't trust cars and turns down the lift. It isn't long before Mr. Percival has fixed his bike and his on his way once more.

Soon, he saw Duke's driver standing by his car; it had broken down. Mr. Percival agrees to phone the garage from his office and concludes that, although a bike is slower, it is much easier to mend!
