Stamping a Cycle Singh

Did you know that the Indian Govt. had come out with stamps featuring Sikhs in sports? I didn't know it either. Here is a particular one that I take a fancy to, a Sikh in the cycling sport. The stamp was released in 1990 to commemorate the XI Asian Games. With Spring officially kicked into season yesterday (and we had snow today!) I am raring to hit the road with my bike.
1) If there is a cycle somewhere, then there must be a cycle pump somewhere.
2) If there is a Sardar somewhere, then there must be an angry Sardar somewhere.

Putting the above two together it follows that:
3) If there is a Sardar on a cycle somewhere, then there must be an angry Sardar with a cycle-pump somewhere.
Showing it to be true is Saif Ali Khan captured on the left playing Veer Singh in love with Harleen Kaur in 'Love Aaj Kal'. (Look out for Saif on the vintage bicycle with his lunch box hanging by the handle bar)
