the adventures of my 1972 ....

The daft, little bike was easy to ride in citys,
low down, light, agile, comfortable position, change gear when stationary

and fun to ride to weave about in silly places..
and no one scowled.. (for long)

Being old...
It was well made too..

I had to do nothing to it in 7yrs..


Another has been spotted..for sale locally

 

Yea I did a mile around the area. In aroud the river/canal..

Might post it on town fagbook page,

The fact the lock was sliced,
seems to suggest someone who knicks them for profit, carboot, quick sale, scrap..?

 

Sorry to hear about your bike fella there’s some scum about
With lithium batteries enabling cordless angle grinders there’s not much that’s safe by being chained up
Thieves are now just cutting holes in the side of work vans to steal tools nowadays

 

yea plenty of high end bikes/motorcycles getting stolen by masked thugs on youtube.

although mine was worthless...
it annoying when you can't leave stuff unattended..

makes you hate town centres..

 

No mine went yesterday..

 

Looks the part..
You're a gent...


But..
I have a cunning plan..

 

Now I want a folding bike!

 

So do I!

 

I've seen this bike around Poole a few times.

A nice practical alternative:

 

Wouldn't trust myself to ride that back from the pub...

 

Just have a few more drinks and the pig might just ride it home for you.

 

my searching reveals this cool project

I found a rather charming brace of bikes here. Could get one each for me and Max!
