This is my Missus' big and lovely Holland bike, which we brought back from Germany this year.
Needing some attention a very kind vintage bike enthusiast tuned it up for free for us.
Here it is parked up prior to it's maiden voyage earlier this week.
Interestingly for Brits, the main brake is activated by pedalling backwards!
The only remaining job is to repair the light wiring and dynamo, but there's no hurry.
Do you have a bike? Do you have a Holland bike like this?
I wear my curmudgeonly badge proudly, still maintaining that bicycles are for children. Haven't ridden one since my first year at college. Eventually I switched to a motorcycle, for commuting. But finally gave that up because motorcycles are for the young! Now I take my Barnabas Collins cane everywhere, because I'm OLD. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that made me chuckle Baron. Have you really got a Barnabas cane?
DeleteI really do. If I have to carry a cane, it's gotta be cool. :-)
