He got the nickname Mike the Bike. 
Earned with his Ball Bearing. 
Backpedalling. Freewheeling attitude to life and work.
Had to be pushed
Had to be moving forward to stay upright 
Was often found leaning up against the pub wall..
He could handle bars.  
Sort of. 
He would cycle through his joke at the bar. 
Pushing some folk too far. 
Punches deflated him and rendered him useless. 
And “don’t get off your bike” was one of his favourite expressions 
during arguments at drinking sessions. 
He’d dink his drink’n mate 
The one with with the handlebar moustache 
on the handlebars of the bike. 
Cycling to another bar .
To cycle through his joke 
and take it again to far .
Unceremoniously unseated  
the cycle and cycling 
 would begin again.
”Them’s the breaks”
He replied when questioned 
on his mistakes.
