Picking one up on Wednesday from Halfords..... Just to take in or on the back of the MH.... We went to a carpark on Chesil Beach this weekend and a Bike could have come in handy rather than having to walk so decision made... Off to Calshot and New Forest this weekend so I'll be testing it out.

Took a few pics on low setting, this is the only one that'll load. It's a ship called Sir Tristram, ex Falklands, bombed but fixed up.... now the SAS and SBS use her for training.

My aunt got one of those battery bikes. She’s chuffed to bits with it.

They are known as pensioners bikes in Germany.

(My aunt is 80)
