And a closer-up shot:


She posed for this umpty times, quite the rock star of velo-portage is our Nikki. More realistically, it's a demonstration of the utilitarian value of butterfly bars.

I carried a rack on my rack. And yes, those are spare bars (x2) poking out of the pannier.

"Hi, is the fridge still for sale?"

"Yeah. Buyer collects though. You got transport?"

"Yeah no problem..."

Impressive cycling but a rather sad story.

Three bags of compost, the one up front was a bit much.

Oh yes!

Here we go.

The trike is Rob's - a lucky find on eBay and I collected it last week with my trailer.  It's safely stashed in the SEEKRIT BUNKER and we're just hoping that Liz doesn't take a liking to it...

Having been used by 2 of my grand-children this rather splendid machine is still in pretty good condition and is FOR SALE .... they (with the other pair of children) are now using the fleet of Islabikes that I have invested in (I buy them - ebay etc - they use them and I then have them back to sell when they're grown out of)

Is he either expecting a lot of mechanical problems, or some sort of roving Brompton mechanic? :)
Actually, it is rocket science.

He got a deal on Brompton tyres at the York Rally.  :)

I assume the handlebars are spare for when his current set break.  He manages to break most things on his Brompton eventually.  Possibly something to do with being quite tall and riding a single-speed with a Teethgrinder-esque gear ratio...

I have seen this once before: If you fold/unfold it too often and too fast it can start to generate its own gravity field, pulling in pieces of nearby Bromptons, eventually going Dawes Super Galaxy.
What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Saw a bloke carrying an upright vacuum cleaner on his bike the other day. Sadly not a Dyson, Kirby or Henry.

Had to deliver some heavy goods to a mate last night in the form of reclaimed paving slabs.  I racked up some top quality eccentricity points as I bowled past the busy local pub garden sporting my new beard (channeling the "young Wowbagger" look), togged up in hi-viz and towing two large slabs which were rattling worryingly on my Carry Freedom Y trailer in spite of the velcro straps attempting to hold them still.  Bonus points for a orange rucksack.  Glad I didn't go for three slabs.

Earlier, I'd completed a couple of 4 mile round trips to fill my haulage crate with firewood to bring back to Quisling towers ready for the winter.  Feeling the legs a bit today.  Plenty more free timber to collect yet though....

Saw a man in a tweed jacket a couple of days ago (man in his 60s at least, so probably a tweed wearer rather than a tweed run type) riding some sort of upright roadster carrying a large sheet of plywood in one hand.

just a random thought, should this thread not be in the 'Gallery' section ?

Josette and Ruby by Ruth Irving, on Flickr

RIP Ruby.  Luckily for me, she's covered by Specialized's frame warranty, so she has gone back to whence she came, to be exchanged for RubyII.

Quite fitting, really, that Josette carried her to her final resting place.

What killed her? There are no obvious wounds in the photo.

When I was a kid, with convenient a Little Brother™ to act as test pilot for such schemes, I tried using a skateboard in place of a front tyre on a bicycle to see what would happen...
