Spinney
Bimbleur extraordinaire
- Location
- Back up north
Just whizzing down the final hill on my morning constitutional when there is a loud zipping noise. I still have all my bits so I carry on and stop in the middle of the road waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so I can turn right into my drive.
The car behind me stops as he passes me to tell me that I've lost my saddlebag (it's a pannier, but never mind that). So I have! Dump the bike in the garden and set off on foot back up the road. Small queue of traffic stuck behind a stationary car next to a traffic island. The driver puts something black on the verge as I approach - she had stopped to rescue my fallen pannier to stop it getting squashed by oncoming traffic.
So - many thanks to two nice motorists this morning!
(goes off to find some method of securing the thing so it does not jump off again....)
