That’s one for the I-Spy book!

PS - If you are younger than 65, don’t worry if you don’t understand.

That’s very impressive. Our local B&Q doesn’t have even a single bike stand. Mind you, how much DIY material can one carry on a bike?

That depends on your panniers/backpack really. Though I did once cycle to ours to get a 2.4m length of planking for something (can't remember what now), which I strapped to the top tube for the ride home (about 7 miles).

Ours doesn't have any cycle stands, I just lock it to the bars around the trolley stand when I go.

We once got some guttering from our local Screwfix ,got some funny looks from the tradies loading their vans.

Plenty: I've transported most of what I need for my DIY projects by bike from the DIY shop about 10km away.

I admit I'm still working on how to transport a sander; I suspect I'll cheat and book the bakfiets from work.

I need to tell you that my grandfather, who was a joiner, often cycled to work with panes of glass under his arm, thinly wrapped with newspaper and string. It still gives me the willies to think what could have gone wrong.

Could be used as a shelter , the entrance to Sprattons cemetery

How late are the buses around here if you have time to read all those books whilst waiting
