She is big and blue and Dutch and resembles nothing so much as a large armchair - which is fine, because my rubbish lungs preclude me cycling particularly fast anyway - and hence (to my surprise, because I do not normally go in for this sort of thing) she has been promptly christened Mary Chesterfield. I expect I'll forget the name almost straight away, but in the meantime, there we go. She is gorgeous! I am very excited.

I only know one place in England where people blog about bikes, and you live here *g*...

Pictures? And you mean you've found a modern bike which actually has a saddle which is comfortable instead of trying to cut the rider in half?

Nice! I think the Belgians should have got a Dutch person to translate, though, their descriptions are 'interesting'. I particularly liked "Our managers are guaranteed 3 years" and the avant-garde brake drums *g*...

(Is that how much bikes cost these days? I think my first one was all of a couple of quid. Mind you, that was 40-odd years ago...)

Shiny!

Bobbin Bicycles in Islington are the only place I know that has a range of upright bicycles in stock, in all sizes; I took [profile] ewtikins there last year on her birthday...
