Here for rides.
... my hand has been forced. The fates have decreed it. The stars are aligned. The gods have smiled. After labouring for months with a leaking head gasket/cooling system my old Fiat Cinquecento blew a hose this morning at 08:40 in a cloud of steam and smoke. I suspect she was frozen. Managed to get it back to the edge of town and park up without seizing it but it has run its course. £600 off fleabay four years ago. A classic exercise in bangernomics, it owes me nothing. So glad I didn't fill it up at the start of my journey. Tax runs out at end of month. Insurance and MoT expire in April.
Currently waiting for the tow truck who will take it to the local Fire Service for them to play with.
The decision has been discussed, and agreed, with the lovely Helen. The chunkychicken will not be replaced. We shall be a one car family and I will be car free henceforth.
Wish me luck. The Brompton is ready for train days and I just need to summon the courage to start early commutting. Thinks.... could put the ice spikes on the tourer tomorrow, as the bike they ar eon has no luggage carrying capacity.
I wonder if an xtracycle will fit my revolution country explorer tourer or if a Kona Ute can be had on cycle2work.... can't get a trailer down our side passage you see.
