What's The Point?
Sermon
Riding a bike is a very good way of discovering the multitude of
airborne insects which inhabit the countryside of East Anglia. A great variety
of minuscule insects dive bomb into the cyclist's face at regular intervals,
aiming directly and expertly for the eyes. Sometimes they make it, but very
often the eyes close automatically a split second before the insect manages to
penetrate them. This reflex action is a remarkable phenomenon of the human body
which must have saved many a cyclist's eyesight.
