Okay, that’s the boring bit over with – Now let’s continue with another episode of ‘The fromanothertime.com Simplified History of the Motorcycle’ PART 174: Appendix 2: Section 3: sub-clause 18c.
Samual Bsa (1434-1497):
Samual Bsa (Pronounced ‘Beeza’) was born at a very early age in Birmingham, England. His father Ron Bsa was, at the time, an unemployed Nuclear Physician who was struggling to find employment due to the failure of the Werzel crop and the fact that it would be another 500 years before the dawn of the nuclear age.
His mother, Rita Ignatious, was heiress to the vast Metchlass Engineering dynasty run by her wicked father Claude Primrose (‘The Orrible’) Metchlass.
In 1438 at the tender age of 4 years, Samual Bsa was apprenticed by his ‘orrible Grandfather and set to work in the ‘orrible conditions of the Matchlass Cycle factory in Albion. Life was hard here and contemporary factory records tell us that a typical working day on the production line started as early as 9.30 in the morning with no break until 10.15.
Luncheon would be taken in the workers restuarant after the 11 o’clock teabreak between 12 noon and 1.30 pm.
It would be another fifty years before the workers won the right to a 4.00pm teabreak, so Samuals afternoon session would have run straight through to the 4.30pm close with only the one teabreak at 3.30. (Ed: While on the subject of Teabreaks – It is worth noting that Tea was introduced to England about 200 years later than Samual Bsa’s apprenticeship – In Samuals day, the brutal factory overseers would have forced the workers to take lashings of strong Ale or Scrumpy Cider instead.)
Despite the harsh conditions, the monocycles produced at the Albion works, were a testament to the workforce and renown to the four corners of the ancient world. England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales for their reliability and performance. No one, at that time, except for perhaps Samual Bsa himself, could forsee the looming event that would one day change their world for ever – the invention of. the BICYCLE.
