All my bikes over the years have been named individually and I have no doubt that it would be unlucky not to name my Agattu. I therefore give notice that my Kalkhoff Agattu shall hereinafter be referred to as TauTag which name is formally reserved and registered and taken and hard luck all the...

Are you all sorted now then, Mandy? I do hope so. Damn it we can't have the "leccy bike" out of action! :eek:

As well it should, Scott. It's a proud record. I do hope you won't take any precipitate action no matter what the provocation. You would obviously be sorely missed. I have been messaging on the internet since it began and have lost count of the number of forums I have seen come and go. All...

Just so. Last Thursday I took my iAudio with me and stopped at a spot I know overlooking the estuary, and listened to the Posthorn serenade. One need not travel long distances to find lovely things to see and do.

A lovely post, Jeanette. I really enjoyed reading it. I'm quite determined sometime this summer, to get up at three in the morning and ride out while the sun comes up. I did this once in the Malvern hills area when I was sixteen (a long time back!) and have the fondest memories of it...

Thank god it wasn't a team!

Tunbridge I am heartened by the readiness which members have shown to flock round, have a gander, and show this unruly bird the roasting instruments. I had intended to write to the club secretary in the strongest terms, but now feel that a much needed lesson has been taught, and that we can...

Well, after seventy it's perfectly respectable to be a dirty old man. As long as one looks one's age the girls no longer give one a contemptuous toss of the head, and one even occasionally gets a smile! :o :)

The new prop stand replacement for the one that arrived broken has come by the midday post and is installed. It's good to have the Agattu looking cared for once again, thanks to Lloyd at 50cycles! I've got the old one packed up and ready to send back tomorrow. Actually I shall be charging for...

Hi Frank, My blog is: erider-game

What great news this is for London members if true. Has anyone further news about it? I can't imagine any filter down effect reaching Felixstowe alas. :(

Very much looking forward to reading an account of this, Footie.

Riding on bridle tracks must be glorious. Having a bike properly set up to do it efficiently must be the greatest pleasure. I wouldn't be prepared to risk my new bike on tracks, but have often seen people doing so locally. I admired one chap a while ago who came along a really rough bit of...

There is definitely something special about riding beside water. Felixstowe allows one to ride along the front in view of the sea most of the way, and I do it all the time.

me culpa, Simon. I do have an excuse, although I blush to recount it! I relied on RoboForm to hold my password, and it didn't! I found myself in the web neophyte's position of not being able to log on! :o .But I've managed to persuade Google to allow me back in now, and will get up to date...

I'm in the same boat with my new Agattu, John. Somehow it seems wrong to have the new tyres taken off just so that different inner tubes can be fitted. But I've made enquiries at the local bike shops and it seems that nothing does exist unfortunately.

Tunbridge. 11th inst. Sir, Permit me to tell you that I am exceedingly surprised you should treat this matter with levity. Had I not been stoutly shod and had it not been for the splendid acceleration of my trusty Agattu, who knows what injury I might not have sustained. Others have...

The creature wore no garment permitting of identification. In a properly run society it would of course be soundly thrashed and placed in irons.

Riding in a perfectly legal and gentle fashion along a quiet country road, and passing a pond, I was viciously attacked this morning by a savage goose which rushed at me and, whilst hissing invective, pecked my foot. This entirely unprovoked assault is yet another indication of the deplorable...

I must be really chicken. I went down a hill at 18 mph yesterday and it frightened the life out of me!
