Slow Boat from China

A San Eagle bike, spotted in town

I was out and about when I saw this bike.
It's a San Eagle bike.
What interested me was the front dynamo, a feature commonly seen on Dutch bikes, but certainly not on the mass-market mountain bikes, city bikes, and hybrids sold in Sweet Albion (that's England, for those that didn't get the reference).

It fits in the back

My folding bike fits in the back of our car (automobile),
even with a Steco front rack and a basket fitted.

As regular readers will know, I ride a folding bike.
Today I was due to take our car (automobile) to the local dealer's service workshop for its MOT (annual safety test).
The dealer's is quite close to the centre of town, and near the shops (stores).
So I thought I would take my bike, and, while the car (automobile) was at the dealer's, cycle to the supermarket to get some milk and bread and see what else they have that takes my fancy.

Basket Case

Get a basket.
No, really,
Get a basket for your bike.
Never mind cool.
They are just SO practical.

A Dash of Yellow

Congratulations to Chris Froome, the winner of the 2013 Tour de France.

Of course, following the disgraceful cheating by Armstrong, and similar drug cheats, questions are bound to be asked, the foremost of which is: Is he "clean"?
(of drugs, that is - not how many baths has he had during the progress of the tour!)

Pucture repair time

My daughter got a puncture on her bike a few days ago.
She has a very pretty bike, and won't let me fit boring, unstylish, puncture resistant tyres to it.
