That's his winged helmet, but he put it on upside down.

Poor?

Unsuspecting?

I beg to differ!

I see a brazen hussy, shamelessly trying to seduce a good and honest man!!!

FOO? That is for mindless threads that have nothing to do with cycling.

Its my birthday in January and I have just been paid the biggest compliment by my Daughter and her Fiance- They have hired one of my favourite cafes on my birthday for a party.- There is a snag though- I cannot ride to the cafe as it will get the tophat and tails mucky. They insist on that as I will have to give my daughter away in the double celebration. My Birthday and I am gaining another bedroom to put the bikes in in the winter

Sounds like the perfect occasion for a pedicab or a couch bike.

Wondering where this post has been? It was hiding all the way back on page 9. And it's been working it's way back there for a whole month!

If we have nothing to talk about in the UK- we get to religion, politics-or the weather. Don't talk politics or religion so hows the Sun over there? Besides being a big round thing in the Sky.

Unseasonably warm and, for those of us that enjoy Autumn, trying our patience. I thought we were done riding in the heat this year. Sigh.
