Del, how fab that you are coming!

Is your knee recovered? Or are you going to do some one-legged cycling again.

Oh, and I hope you're coming on the recumbent...

It seems to be OK! Tonight will see and one legged cycling is still an option.

No lights on the laid back.

It's a possibility although unlikely. A new bike over that distance...  :'(

You have a new bike  :o

And you could always put lights on the laid-back, it's hardly a major engineering task  ;)

Not mine, Mum's.

It's got lights!  Given you have missed out on so many rides I think you should bring it as some sort of forfeit!  ;D

It would also give you the opportunity to dress as a 1950s district nurse.  You know you want to!

Pashley Princess Soverign.
I like the rear basket - might work for Doggie-To-Arrive-Early-August, although I'm probably going to get a basket with a lid from Deutschland to prevent unexpected doggie egress.

You'll need the matching rack to get the basket to fit correctly as it has legs to insert into holes in the rack.

Oaky, your missus has been round with two bunches of keys, she wasn't sure which is the right bunch.  One has a USB memory stick on it.  Had a quick look - I must say that's an impressive dwarf pron collection you've got there  :thumbsup:

Naturally I will forget to bring your keys with me  ;D

Naturally.  Thanks anyway, it'll be the thought that counts.

She probably didn't read my text that said "it's the one with the white USB key on it".

Fear not, your keys and dwarf pron collection are safely stashed in The Magic Bag Lite TM.  We can have a reuniting ceremony, together with tears of gratitude outside Witham rail station at 1915 hours.  I'll bring spare hankies.

Absolutely spiffing ride. I had a visitation and just as Del & I were returning to the borough I broke a saddle rail.

That was jolly and no knee pain, well a couple of twinges. Although my Achilles tendons are sore.
Pics are cooking and will be ready soon.  :thumbsup:

Wow: Your frames cracked!
Oaky:  :o That's where it folds.  :facepalm:


Bike juggling.


A swift 'alf.


Want!  ;D


Thank $Deity! AH hasn't spotted the crash damage.  ::-)


There's definitely something wrong with the handling.  ???

The highlight of the evening was definately having a go on/in AH's Trice.  I can see the appeal of 'bents.  Thanks AH  :thumbsup:

Someone wasn't paying attention.

I was perfectly aware that it was a folding bike and commented that the folding points made it look as though the frame was cracked.

 :facepalm: yourself!
