But all my bikes have names!
Arfur?
(Arfur bike. Geddit? Oh, suit yourselves.)
I have decided to (nearly) follow Paul's suggestion (as validated by WhizzBang in a later post) and name the bike Arthur, I decided not to go for the phonetic spelling. Decals will be made up shortly and duly stuck on Arthur's cross bar.
Arthur's ability to fold in two and become Arthur a Bike have proved useful so far. We have had one ride out of London, with the second ride this Wednesday. And last Wednesday, he got folded up and popped in the car boot for a trip to Wales. We did a 30 mile loop from Cardiff. Due to navigational errors on my behalf the ride was slightly more exciting than planned and we ended up on a muddy farm track, on a shut off dual carriage way and a long road tunnel
Here we see Arthur out on manoeuvres yesterday. The Alfine 8-speed hub proved more than up to ascending The Mighty North Hill. Behind Arthur you can see one of the four North Hill pigs ...
My glove is on the ground as one of the pigs nearly had it off the rack!
