hello global pootlers!

today i received my very first folding bike, an orange downtube IXFS!

so i went on a mini-pootle in downtown bedford (the one in englandville)!

here it is by the lake (ok, it's more a pond really):



playing hide and seek behind a tree:



admittedly it wasn't a very exciting game, since i was the only one playing, and knew where i'd put the bike.

some glamour photography outside my flat:



and finally, after a hard(ish) ride, i put it to bed in its new home - a cupboard in my flat:



i shall endeavour to do rather more impressive pootling to more far-flung corners of bedfordshireville at a later date, but i hope you like these 'first day' piccies.
