I shall indeed keep my eyes 'on this space'.

The trip to the Malverns and the Worcestershire Beacon was one mad escapade.
Two friends of mine took a fancy to my RSWs and I parted with two of them (I converted them, so to say!: ) and we thought 'why not go out on a trip together.'
Three RSWs in convoy must be a rare sight nowadays....
And off we went!!

OK, it wasn't too far away, 6/7miles or so, but it was a severe test of the little machines coming down the hill.
I got a blister off of the rim testing it at the bottom!!!
But all was well, and we got home safely.
Which speaks volumes for RSWs.

Tonight, while writing this, I get a call from the Swift Bicycle Registrar!
He's intrigued too.
Didn't add too much to my collected knowledge, but more will come shortly for sure.
He's going to stop by and have a good look soon.
Gets interestinger and interestinger....

My bicycles on Flickr are a moment in time.
I have a good turnover and not all are still in my possession.
But they are all much loved, even if they don't stay long.

I moved into a tiny flat in June and my bedroom is my bike park nowadays.
Six is too many!!!
So I need to concentrate on essentials.
Sold two on ebay this last weekend, but still got an early 50s Phillips arriving Friday.
Too many bikes, as someone already said.

But it's all good fun.
