We went suitcase hunting again today at the local recycling shops attached to the three rubbish dumps in the greater metro area. We did a complete circle and ended up back where we were last week and... picked up another suitcase of the right size. And the best part was this one was only $5. One of the wheels on it had broken off and it obviously had been pulled around a fair bit without it. But I located another smaller suitcase with an almost identical set of wheels on it and bought that... also for $5.

So we have our suitcases for Bike Fridays almost ready to go for the paltry sum of $30.

We've also let BF know that our travel plans have changed slight and that we expect to take delivery of our bikes in the third week of September. We are just doing the measurements of our current touring bikes and comparing them with the measurements on our other favourite bikes, and then will transfer the numbers to BF's spec sheet.

So at the beginning of July we should have our orders in and paid for!
