When the author's friend doubled himself across the bicycle till he lost his balance and slid over on to his head, he lost his temper
and tried bullying it. The bicycle showed spirit and there ensued a fight between him and the machine. One moment the bicycle was on the gravel path and he on top of it. The next moment the position was reversed. He became happy with his victory after the
bicycle was firmly fixed between his legs. However, his triumph was short-lived. By a sudden, quick movement, the bicycle freed
itself and hit him sharply over the head with one of its handles by turning upon him. After a while, he gave up, saying that. The
bicycle looked as if it also had enough of it.
