The plan is to ride the 12 miles to one of my places of work - I go there twice a week on average. Most of the journey is do-able on the Lee towpath, and I need to be able to leave the bike lashed up whilst I'm at work without worrying too much about it getting nicked.
Introducing the new towpath runner....a 1937 BSA Gold Vase single speed. It is a birthday gift from Action Man, who was willed it by a friend who died last year. The friend had the bike from new, and did many many miles on it in the forties and fifties. Mick at Omega Cycles in Hoddesdon did a lovely job of restoring it to good working order and re-painting the frame.
Road testing on Saturday went well - a part towpath, part road, part cross country ride to a party at my parents' house in Watton-at-Stone, Herts. The last bit went through Bramfield Forest, which was full of bluebells and quite magnificent.
