And be careful how much more treacle pud pud you consume tonight, you don't want to have to call the plumber out again do you?![]()
This is a very special type of bike, made from recycled wire in a town called Ouagadougou (I kid you not). They are very small, about 8" in length. I am currently part of a team preparing for a Conference on recycled materials used in art. I wanted to get one of these bikes, to see if the rest of the team think they are suitable for sale at the Conference. We could just buy a few, and point the people in the direction of the seller (in this country).
My "local" bike shop is one of those very high techny racing places. They are very friendly, but considerably out of my league.
Actually, now you mention it, I would like to call the plumber out again. There is a very very tiny leak from the radiator he fitted. But he has to come back anyway in January to do the tiling. This will be an ideal opportunity for him to show me all his tools again.
