HE WAS SURPRISED
This Lancashire Cyclist didn’t expect that he would receive his Plus Fours so quickly—
I am writing these few words with regard to the Plus Fours that I purchased some weeks ago. Having ordered them on Thursday I was surprised when they arrived here on the following Saturday morning. They are splendid value and they are the correct fit. You can rest assured that your “Aids to Happy Cycling” will always be by me and your name and address with all my fellow cyclists.
