amazing! this could be me, only it was my mums bike, a green puch paladine. remember sitting in the baby seat on the back and then riding it. just like you fast forward many years and now i am the owner of a puch sprint and puch elegance (could never find a paladin). I ride them every day. as for being over taken by modern bikes, i always assumed this was me being slow and not the old bike! i feel better know knowing its the bike not me, haha

Several times I have been joined by Barn Owls for my ride. I think they use the bike to spook their prey but never have they swooped to catch it, so perhaps they are just sociable.

Before lockdown 1 I would regularly commute the 20 km to and from work either along the seafront or through Prittlebrook Greenway. Cycling through lockdown gave me space to breathe and forget the p... read more
