Adventure and romance. A newly-married husband tells a friend - the narrator - the tale behind the bicycle in a glass case in his study. It had been the means of saving his wife and her father from an accident in driving their carriage over a washed-out bridge on a stormy night. Happened during the courtship when he was on holiday. He was hurt and the bicycle smashed in the rescue - but his wife-to-be nursed him through his illness and accepted his proposal subsequently. Light. (PB)
