Time for a change?

 I'm looking for another folding bike.

My beloved Cinzia (really just a cheap U-frame 3-speed folder) has suffered a serious structural failure after about 20 years of ownership :-(

I could weld it, but I'm not a welder, so the time and cost of all that could be put towards a replacement.
I have a great affection for my Cinzia, but it is not a cost-effective repair (!)

Cycling with an injury

I've hurt my leg.
Knee, to be more exact.

More about me (not as interesting as bikes!)

This is us, from a few years ago.
I'm the one of the right :-)

After chatting to another blogger, and seeing what other folks post on their blogs, I have decided to share a bit more about myself with you.
It is not that I am particularly shy, or reclusive (I write a blog after all!), it is just that I don't think I am as interesting as the bikes I write about :-)

So on to the folks behind the words.

I was born in the '60s, in typical lower middle-class home.
I have been told that I watched the Moon Landings on TV, live (-ish) - I believe there was a time delay on the signal, but I watched on first transmission anyway :-) Don't remember it, but I have seen it so many times since, it would be hard to separate the original memory from the later viewing anyway :-)

I miss my Cinzia

I really miss riding my little Cinzia folding bike.

Following it's sad demise, I've been riding my wife's old bike - a modern 6-speed ladies-frame hybrid bike.

I miss the simplicity and ease of the Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub, which I've loved ever since I first used one more than 35 years ago.
