radfordred 6,284 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Got me Chopper out, anyone coming for a bike ride?  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Driving the other day I saw something coming towards me and couldn't make out what it was. It was almost at my level when I realised it was a reclining bike. Its the first one I've ever seen in these parts . Thinking about it , the cyclist was talking on his phone and looking anywhere but where he should. The roads especially near us are country roads and fairly narrow. Do the drivers look who's cycling low down? I doubt it and besides that part of the road is restricted, no cyclists. Hope he wasn't caught as that day the carabinieri were out in full force.

philmayfield 6,139 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 The ‘late’ Plantfit rides one of these. Knowing the area where he lives he must have a death wish riding it round those country lanes with the tall hedges. I’ve no idea what the point of them is unless it’s to provide therapy for the disabled - or perhaps for those who are looking to become disabled! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,296 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Thanks notty ash, knew it was an Escort but the Chrysler Alpine was after my time in Notts so I did not recognise it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
