THERE WAS A BICYCLE RACE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. DR.DUNLOP’S SON ALSO PARTICIPATED IN IT.  IN THOSE DAYS CYCLES WERE CALLED AS BONE –BREAKERS. THEY HAD A STRONG METALLIC WHEEL.  DR.DUNLOP’S SON WAS AFRAID OF THE PAIN THAT WOULD BE CAUSED BY THAT. SO,ONE DAY HE ASKED HIS FATHER.HIS FATHER WAS SO TIRED AS HE WORKED EIGHT HOURS.NOW,HE COULDN’T DISAPPOINT HIS SON. SO,HE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING.  HE FOUND A RUBBER TUBE HANGING ON THE FENCE OF THEIR GARDEN. HE TIED IT SOTHAT IT FORMED A BARRIER (SHOCK ABSORBER) AND FIXED IT TO THE WHELLS.NOW,HIS SON WAS VERY HAPPY SEEING HIS BICYCLE GO VERY SMOOTHLY.THE NEXT DAY DR.DUNLOP’S SON CAME FIRST IN THE RACE WHILE THE OTHERS STRUGGLED TO COME HALF-WAY.  THEY ALL WERE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT STRANGE THING THAT WAS.  THEY FINALLY CAME ASKED DR.DUNLOP.HE SAID WHAT IT WAS,AND ALL OF THEM WANTED IT ON THEIR BICYCLES TOO. DR.DUNLOP MANAGED TO FIX IT.THE NEXT DAY HE WAS AMAZED ON SEEING A LOT OF CYCLES PARKED OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE ASKING FOR THE TUBE.  NOW DUNLOP REALISED THAT THIS BROUGHT MORE OF INCOME AND LESS TIRED HE WAS.  SO, HE QUIT HIS REGULAR PROFFESION AS A DOCTOR AND STARTED TO FIX TUBES IN BICYCLES. THIS LED TO THE STARTING OF THE HUGE COMPANY ‘THE -DUNLOP’.
