Fixing up a spare bike

I've been busy today working on Anna's old bike.
The plan was to get it running in some sort of passable condition for use as a spare.

Under the Bourg Walk: How to develop a "cycle town"

"The Bourg Walk" pedestrian and cycle bridge - the landmark cycle route showpiece in Aylesbury (a town in England). 

Four of the town's nine cycle routes run across the bridge.

• Build some off-road cycleways (cycle paths)

1. the biggest thing that puts off potential cyclists is having to cycle in the gutter while traffic whizzes past
2. marking a narrow "cycle lane" on a narrow road just isn't the same - especially if most of the vehicles have to overlap the marked-off cycle lane to use the road!

The Cycling Family

multi-modal transport - it's why I own a folding bike!

Today, all three of us have already all used our bikes, and it is not yet 9 a.m.!

I was the first - I folded up my little Cinzia folding bicycle and put it in the boot (trunk) of our car (automobile).
Drove down to the dealers for the annual service on the car.
Unfolded the bike, and cycled home.

Me and my bike

So here we are!
