Hello from Scotland...

My paper round years were important times in developing my superb bike handling skills!

Especially on frosty Sunday mornings, negotiating hilly streets on my single speed with cowhorn handlebars while carrying a canvas single strap bag full of extra heavy papers which included all the extra Sunday supplements! Allowing a child to carry such colossal weights would get the shop proprietor prosecuted nowadays! If I look carefully I can still see the indentation from the strap on my left collar bone!

Happy memories of character-building times!! 😁
