Looks like you've dumped it there.
There's a small wheeler ride from Didcot Parkway next Friday the 9th. 18 mins on the train from reading station.
Another Raleigh Twenty project

I don't do trains, find that mode of transport far too intimidating. I'll stick to bikes and buses. Let me know if you're over this way.

Tyres are shot, but managed to ride it about 3 miles home. It's a rebadged Raleigh Stowaway, there was a BSA version as well, maybe others.
Anyways, for twenty quid it was worth grabbing, something to satisfy those tinkering urges
I have the same but branded a Triumph Trafficmaster awaiting refurb....

Blimey - had to look that one up. You streetwise gangsters know all the slang.
Take it you've covered a good few stretches of the Kennet? Done as far as Aldermaston Wharf a couple of times. Been meaning to do that route to Silchester instead of the road that I usually take to get there. Might try further to Newbury and back, which is around 40 miles I think, but without suspension it takes its toll on them towpaths

Myself and the Fragrant MrsP have cycled the K&A From the Oracle to Bath, and then on to Bristol and back a couple of times, but on hybrids. I cycled from Aldermaston to Erleigh Road back in February on the Brompton, that was a mistake.

Visited the Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) the other day. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, loads of wagons and carts and stuff.
Among the collection a nice old boneshaker, and no, it's not a prototype Raleigh Twenty
And then a bit more luxury on a Fergie, ooh arhh....
And you can really spoil yourself in a Series1 Landie.....
Will try and find the Cole zoology museum next, hidden away somewhere on the Reading Uni campus

Just back from the Cole Museum, nice little hidden treasure. Had just fitted some new tyres to my Puch so took it for a test ride there. The old tyres were falling apart as I prised them off, on them it says 'made in Austria', so guessing they were the original ones from new. The bike is single speed, so no SA hub to help with the year of manufacture. Anyways, it's good now for another few decades I expect
