Default Scilly Billy (well, Bobby)

A story of the Scillies' bobbies getting bikes:

More interesting though is the part about bikes on the islands being seen as common property.

It did cross my mind too. I wonder how serious cyclists with pride-and-joy bikes get on? I guess
they always use a lock.

Its harly worth having a bike, theres only about twenty miles of road on the biggest island. The
town has one main street, you would see anyone who had borrowed your bike.
