Moving house, by bike

Moving house, by bike

Have bike will travel



Students are beginning to drift back into town, clogging the bookshops with their reading lists for Art History and Unemployability (Comb. Hons.)

Proving the Dutch can do anything with a bike, I spotted these intrepid housemovers while cycling back from the crèche. With a child perched on front and another seated behind, I snapped off this shot while straddling my own bicycle.

4 wheels bad,
2 wheels good!

    I have been on many various sport bikes from 600′s 750′s 954′s and 1000′s. I would not say 1 is harder to ride than the other but what I would say is that the 600 is much more forgiving then the rest.
