There is to be a new arrival at the Bear-o-drome.

I've just bought a Hase Pino on ebay.

First new bike in over a decade.   :smug:

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Nice.  Molished by yourself no doubt?    :o    :D

If I bring it to Long Itch would you like a go?  In fact, who would like a go IF I bring it to Long Itch?

I doubt that I'll want to use them anyway.  I find them awkwardly positioned.

I'm sure we can find you a 'safe' pilot cycleman.   I'll give Apollo lessons and see who dares brave the front.

It sounds like a Chilean wine, or maybe a footballer.

Fantastic!

I saw one of those in London last week with just the pilot on. Double take WTF is that? He was going at a fair lick just on his own!

I can.    O:-)

Hmmm, the purpose of this machine is of course to allow me to continue riding with sighted pilots into the future.  What's the point of me riding 'pilot' with cycleman on the jump seat?  By the time he has spluttered to me to stop we'll have buzzsawed whatever it was that he was trying to warn me about!   ;D

On second thoughts ...

I have not decided yet whether Boudicca is coming to Long Itch this year or not.  All will depend upon her operational state when I collect her in about ten days time.
