Trying to up my bike transporting day by day

Not that there is anything wrong with my train that was about 100x cheaper!

Must be one of the Northern Belle Christmas meal rides.

Only about £400-600 each for a round trip with a many course meal.

Wow, yeah thankfully I'm bike less today, I did have the misfortune of missing the last train one when transferring through manchester, was an interesting night of wandering around the city until the first train.

Good thing this is a pleasure trip and not trying to get to work. Could have waited an hour at the uncovered 1st station. And hey this is more exciting than driving!

And definitely beats filling up nearly every week

That's a cool idea adding the art over the cupboard doors.

I've got a wall with nothing on it at the minute that's begging for something cycling related but haven't seen anything or found inspiration to make anything.

Just then need to sort out how it's divvied up. If it's to mayors or council bods as the BBC were saying what happens if the force covers multiple regions/councils? Or if its to metro mayors if part of the region is covered by another force.

Could get a pair of mar-mittens knitted

Oh very nice!

That's why I like the little but newer Transport for Wales trains.
Plenty of space and a strap to secure rather than a wheelbrace.

Plus no one seems to complain if you're in the vestibule part

Changed mine back in May, thought "hey I've changed brake cables on my old external routed bike how hard could it be."

Cue cursing that I'd started.

Hear nothing except these stupid soundbites.

Eurgh, it's shocking to think I'll have her as my MP for another few years...

Had that fun the other weekend with a wander around Knutsford
