so a couple of years ago , i had a mountain bike ,claude butler, i still have it , mrs b had a vintage Raleigh but we decided that when visiting various citys it would be a good idea to carry folding bikes in the car .. so off i went onto ebag and i bought 6 second hand folding bikes ... all needing repair from a bike dealer they were £45.... i repaired 5 of them and sold them for £20 each .... i kept the pick of the bunch .. the 1972 {same age as my westy] elite folder from Austria.... 1st ride out ...
a few tweeks ....new saddle , white wall tyres .. and old school bell.... made it into the centre of london this week .. 13.5 miles from hanger lane to tower bridge... then 13 miles back ....
It was prob a bit more.. There are lots of routes when your in a city... Around the city on the way there.. And along the south bank on the way back..
Actually you're probably right . I've got an image of you cycling it cheerily through the big city and best if I keep that image instead of ruining it (possibly) with real life!
I don't know why @artb but the thought of you, and seeing you, on the bike just make me laugh . I liked the thought of you cycling it up to the fence to look at the racing cars - that made me laugh too
Meh that's nowt.. As I forgot the lock and it was hissing down I took the bike up stairs into the grandstands... Pic to follow..
found a parking spot at the ace cafe, after 26 miles around london ... i had a great bacon sandwich and chips and a well deserved pint of boddingtons.. vw audi nite too...
