Morning Malcolm
I rode to work back in 1968 on my new Sun Snipe, £26 quid - £2 a month from local bike shop,
paid for with my paper round earnings , £1-2 a week! Paid off no prob, fell off lots of times, read crashed it...no t a scratch on me, bike not so lucky , hit a child..only 15 myself!, head on going round into a 'ginnel' ??? !!! front wheel S shaped, carried it home, bike shop bloke tried to fix it but never the same again, new wheel but spoilt the ride,sold on to a relative !
Had toe clips and staps on the Sun good idea, on order, next bike a Dawes 'Milk Race'in 1989, similar to the Sun but 10 speed, half decent bike, got 'Look' brand clip on pedals and shoes to match, a revelation after straps, pull up easy, double the effect of pedaling – unclip? Twist your foot to one side and you are out, click back in while still moving...yeah man...!
I've have to use my car all the time even short trips, disc injury wouldn't let me walk more than the corner of the street 30yds or so, seized up completly, very frustrating after being fit as a butchers dog..its that dog again! Ha ha.
Don't lke pizza or foriegn foods at all, hotpot or egg chips and beans man..! no alco, think i've mentioned already???, I've been the same weight for last ...50 years!
Catch you when I can at one of the lakes soon, I hope.
Thanks for the post Malc.
John.
