The brazed cable bosses and dynamo bracket seem to indicate it was born as a Moulton mini automatic. Something tells me the finding a working “Torpedo-Duomatic” will take some time!
I also need to strip it and return it to its original Orange

If someone invented a miracle pill that reduced your risk of cancer, heart disease and strokes as well as boosting mood, memory, and lifespan it would be the most popular drug ever. Except we already have it and it's called exercise, and most people can't be arsed doing it.

Your #ClownBike looks great!

If repeat punctures, make sure that the brakes are properly positioned. Had the issue with my wife’s which were not properly installed at the factory, and as the pads wore, became slightly larger and ate into the tyre!

I *might* have just bought a Moulton Mini… No idea of what I’m going to do with it, but £30…

Meanwhile, I've got almost a year without getting my shoelace wrapped around the pedal arm...

That is exactly the conclusion I came to. Available round the corner, and half the price of the trailer 50mins away!

Any one knows where to rent a box trailer in east London for 3 days? I need to move a table from here to Exeter. Recommendations welcome 🙏

I spent 4 weeks between Critical Care and Trauma last May. NHS staff were coming from all around the world and were absolutely brilliant. Certainly saved my life!

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Tried BookBub to publicise your discounted price and help on the ranking side of things?

Spaceballs 2 is obviously going to be a terrible, terrible movie but we should all cheer it on as hard as possible because Rick Moranis deserves a hero's welcome back to the industry.

40 new ones? Probably not very far from the grand total of bike hangars in Tower Hamlets…

Come on, cities. Stop installing "artistic bike racks" that don't work as bike racks. The upside down U (staple) is the right bike rack.

Anne Paulson @annepaulson.bsky.social · 20d

This sculpture of a shark, stuck in the middle of a park, is supposed to be a bike rack. Once you realize you’re supposed to secure your bike there, you have to figure out how. 1/3

Grew up in France, where everyone has an ID Card. It is free, and it is mandatory to have one form of identification on you. I’d rather be able to leave my expensive passports in the safe and carry an id in my wallet or phone.
