Cycling in the sun
- Location
- Bristol
I hate it (normally), the need to talk while they do things to your hair... but today to wash my hair (they get the newest person to do that sort of job), was a young lad who asked if I had cycled there (the pannier, jacket and helmet might have been a bit of a give away there
).
Anyway he wanted to know how long it would take to cycle from Hartcliffe (about 6 miles away ish) - he thought about 1 and a half hours, I said definitely under an hour. (Wasn't sure whether to adjust the figure for fitness and age).
He hasn't got a bike but was going to get one soon for £65
last one he had, had been nicked. I wasn't certain what to say to that as he obviously didn't have much money. I suggested he get a good lock - his response - I hadn't thought of that - apparently he didn't lock up the last bike. No wonder it didn't last long.
Anyway it made a pleasant change from the "going anywhere nice for your holidays?" conversations that I normally get.
