Summer Holiday 2009

[Cyclezee]

I just can't wait for the summer to arrive and get this baby on the open road Unlike the gentleman shown here, I shall of course be wearing a helmet Though I feel sure it is quite safe in all other respects e.g. braking on steep descents etc.
If you ever wondered what Flecc looked like in his youth, then here you are...

I'd hate to get stuck behind that

The good old Airstream, the USA's most famous caravan. That cycle towed stunt was to demonstrate how light it's all aluminium construction made it.

Cycle helmets weren't made then of course, they're just a modern affectation.

I've never looked like that except on a customer's bike, never using drop handlebars myself. Sensible level or comfort bars only.

We are oft to Italian lakes once again via Alsace and Interlaken region of Switzerland. Taking the 2 electric bikes (just bought a step through for the wife...more on later) and 2 normal ones for my teenagers they can try and keep up lol

a bit concerned about extra weight but removed spare wheel last year (saved 40kg) and had puncture seal put in tyres. So seeing as not taking other 2 conventional bikes weight should be OK . Its always difficult to stay within 3500kg when there are four of you.........

what are the rest of you up to?
