riding bikes and doing other things
Its a slow job but progress is being made. If you saw my Doctors Orders, post the other day then you’ll know that apart from other things I’m a little way off from getting getting back on the bikes, so much so that my scheduled trip for July has been postponed. But progress is being […]
It’s June already and I can’t even say that my biking this year (2019) has been a stop/start affair. It started later than usual and then stopped and it’s remained stopped and I don’t quite have a date yet for when it might get started. It was a later than usual start to my biking […]
A few weeks ago, back in March I wrote a very brief post referring to the need to do what the doctor says – that post was written just after I had started my recovery from shoulder surgery. The timing of the shoulder surgery was pretty ideal really, and with the operation in March I […]
For some time now when ever my wife and I are out, if we see an antique shop/antique emporium we are total suckers for a browse around.

The actual location is down near the J&S Accessories (Manchester branch) in Openshaw – which is about […]
I’m not sure of the origin of this picture, but in my opinion it’s worth a look. If you are the owner and you would like me to credit the picture or remove it then please let me know
On the road to recovery after a bit of surgery … and I can’t disagree with the caption to the second picture below and it’s going to be at least another couple of weeks before I can get on a bike!
Back in January I read about a change in speed limits on Spanish roads. Given the numbers of UK riders who will doubtless be heading out there this year it’s probably worth being aware of the changes. The changes come from an amendment to something called Article 47 of the General Circulation Regulations. In practice […]
