This evening, I discovered that it takes an hour and a half to walk from the Cluny to our house. I hadn’t actually planned to do so. A bargain bike purchase on eBay meant that I needed to transport my new acquisition from Heaton. I’d intended riding the bike home and even had the foresight to locate a bike tool in case immediate adjustments were necessary. Unfortunately, my inability to remember to take the bike tool with me resulted in my not being able to lower the seat.

Still, I needed the exercise. It’s a lovely bike; a bit of a project, but there’s very little to put right. I think it’s from around 1996, so was probably even made in the UK.
