Oh what a beautiful morning!
Oh what a beautiful day!
Yes indeedy, all is well with the world today. Cycling into town, I overtook a yoof on a mountain bike on the hill outside the George Hotel. Normally yoof on MTBs make a point of overtaking middleagedfatbirdonabianchi up said hill, but today I saled by such a yoof and offered a friendly "Good morning" as I pedalled past him :-) Some days, the cycling is *good* :-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

One of them called, somewhat incomprehensibly, "Where's the motor? Giveya a partex." |

Very strong, good for stunts, horrible for getting from A to B because of the low singlespeed gear and the rather pointless saddle. |

Stealth bike, anyone? ;-)
Not by the time I've finished with it ;-) I was out cycling this evening. Two Cateye 5LED front lights,1 front flashing LED, 1 helmet mounted LED. At the rear, 1 trad BS red light, another static *bright* LED red light (BS standard) 1 x flashing red LED. Various assorted reflective things on self and bike, front, side & rear facing. I'd have that lot on the matt balck one too ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |
