Whilst I'm not old enough to remember this building as a cycle shop in Beverley's Saturday Market... Well you look old enough :wink: ...with parts of them dating back to the 1600's... If only we could turn the clock back - even for a day or two would do :roll: Lovely, maybe we could all enjoy a dos...

All in the name of science, you understand :wink: X-RD3, 1st gear, wheel locked with wood and rope, five-foot pole over the crank arm, hefty bloke swinging on the pole. Not sure what it proves, but it passed an hour at work today :oops: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-svcfg95JrEo/Tt5q0fX0LKI/AAA...

Barn door?

I suspect that only time will tell. Certainly an AW on a solo machine, ie with no trailer, will haul the huge bulk of our own dear Greybeard up hill and down dale for many many years, and show no signs of falling to bits. Me and my trailer full of shopping weigh about the same as him :wink: I routin...

Was anyone here hanging around in the Northolt area between the end of the 2nd war and about 1947? I am trying to find anyone that might have been familiar with The target Cycles Stores that was at 177 Church Road, which I believe is the Rectory parade building, completed in about 1936. From everyth...

So I'll be quite relieved legitimately to use the new forum and leave this one to the bona-fide CTC members.

It's currently reserved for a chap in Wales, pending me packing it this weekend. Possibly the same chap?

The only thing which approaches this for me was when I was seventeen and I inadvertedly passed wind when getting up from a cinema seat in front of my new georgeous first-date "girlfriend". I turned red with embarrassment, as I did in those days, but she thought it highly amusing, which he...

Being told by my GP, who was examining me 'from behind', "Try giving a gentle push as if you are trying to pass a stool." I did as he instructed. And yes, I did :oops: I think that's where the old saying "Never look back" comes from :oops: That's really embarrassing? Did you off...

One of the things I like about this forum is you get to speak to people from all over the country. I don't know of we would get on if we met up. I am a mad woman in her forties who messes about with bicycles and knits wheels. Knit wheels :shock: Don't you find the going a bit soft :lol: I've met a ...
