This thread got me thinking.... is it only me who......
harbours a secret want to go for the baggy just post-knee length cycling trousers, a tweed cap, jacket, silk cravat and Argyll socks? And then ride on an old English 3-speed (replete with artisanal front shopping basket)? Admittedly to balance it, I would certainly quash any desire to shout out "Tally-ho" or "what, what".*
I should add I cycle to the local supermarket on an old Rudge 3-speed, but my front basket is a modern wire cage jobbie that doesn't look that good. And I've never seen those cycling trousers on sale anywhere, ever.
*just had a sudden thought, the deliciousness of calling out to my teenage daughters while doing this would be simply iirresistible. 'Bout time I got my own back.
