My rating: 3 out of 5 starsI listened to it on www.librivox.org for free. The audiobook (Version 3 by David Clarke) is fantastic. This story was interesting as always but not my favourite. I was not a huge fan on Sherlocks behavior in this one and also the case was more light. After the third and in my opinion really dark case I just hoped for something similar.

(view spoiler)["The Solitary Cyclist" is the fourth episode in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, illustrating the grab-bag approach to the Canon taken by the show's producers (the story was actually from The Return of Sherlock Holmes). That hardly matters, though, since "The Solitary Cyclist" is the most delightful episode yet. Not only do we get several scenes of Holmes and Watson being, well, Holmes



In this story, Holmes is contacted by Miss Violet Smith of Farnham, Surrey about an unusual turn in her and her mothers lives. Violets father has recently died, and left his wife and daughter rather poor. However, a notice appeared in the newspaper not much later inquiring as to their whereabouts. Answering it, they met Mr. Carruthers and Mr. Woodley, the former a pleasant enough man, but the latter a bully. They had come from South Africa, where they had known Violets uncle Ralph Smith, who had
