Do You Gawp?

OK I have to admit to it. While spending an afternoon in London before Christmas, I gasped, drooled, went 'cor' or something like that whereupon Mrs KM muttered 'alright, it must be a bike'. A bike, no, not just a bike, it was a Dursley Pedersen chained to some railings. Couldn't stop to see if it was original or a replica. (Anyone ridden a DP? What's it like?)

Mrs KM has also been known to ask, when I am deep in a cycling magazine or web site, why can't I be like other men and be into porn? So I am seriously considering branching out into publishing: the new title will be 'Bikes Only', with sections for 'Readers' Bikes' and 'Lug Work Laid Bare!'. The first issue will have a centre fold of curly stayed Hetchins Magnum Opus - ah, I'm going weak at the knees already...
I'm also thinking about weekends for swinging cyclists where after a nice cup of tea, participants swap cycle clips and go for a spin round the block on an unknown beauty (remember - safe cycling - bring your own rain cape!)

To enable me to gauge the possible level of support, please send expressions of interest plus suggestions for other sections to Kentish Man, care of CTC.

PS I can't help thinking that Terry T's thread 'Pictures of your bike(s)' is a bit provocative and should be avoided by readers with delicate sensibilities!

Ooh! Can we have an "Explore your bottom bracket" section, please?

You could display models of the latest fashion of "teeny weeny yellow dot Bikeinis"

You could also show pictures of mounting bikes

Is that a very high gate, or a very small bike?
