It's a funny place, Gosport. Neither one thing nor the udder. Your Thames Bank pootle looks fun, I'm trying to get the bike in the car to the airfield tomorrow, but it may rain again.

Took the Curve SL out for a twilight pootle along the Yokohama waterfront today.
Began the pootle with a visit to a puddle.

Bored, the weather was nice, so went out for a short ride. Pootling along nicely, the fresh air entering your lungs is amazing. First ride of the summer BTW, enjoy!
I know this is nothing for everyone here but I couldn't get up this wee hill. Couldn't get started so just rolled my foldie up without shame! Newbie still.
Is this a flat? I pumped it up the last time but it's lost pressure again. Do I need a new tyre?

Depending on how slow the leak is and where it is you may be able to fix it. Have you taken the tubes out, inflated them and immersed them in water to find the leak? A pinhole is easily patched, a leaking valve can usually be fixed/replaced but a faulty/broken stem will necessitate a tube replacement.

Haven't got a clue!
Think I need to visit my LBS pronto. Don't know where to start!

More PootPics - Am I the only one still pootling?
Nice day today. Coasting downhill with the wind in your face is an amazing feeling.

Pootling along Paint Creek Trail, Rochester Hills, Michigan, USA
A great, well maintained trail - we sighted a pair of Bromptons, very rare species around these parts.
