I feel very lucky to have been given a wonderful 'sit up and beg' bike by a dear friend. We brought it home Thursday and today my lovely son moved the seat down, pumped up the tyres and greased the chain. I tried it out and went for a little ride up and down the road. I plan on going on a bike ride each day if I can...starting slowly at first. I would like to get a basket for the front and a rack for the back, so will need to keep an eye out at carboots etc... The wheel trims need a brush down with a wire brush and treatment as they have unfortunately gone a bit rusty, but I shouldn't think that will be too much of a problem to fix. It is a Raleigh Cameo in a burgundy colour.
Isn't she a beauty?
I am hoping that the position being upright will suit me better and not bother my arm and shoulder too much, but only time will tell.
On to the roses for today...
And finally a carnation.
