I don't be in shopping centres very often but every time I am in this one, I mentally plan ways of robbing these bikes from this shop window. I'd like them in my collection even if a tandem is a pointless to me as I don't have anyone to be a stoker.

Why.does the Yankee candle shop have bikes in the front of their display?

I have no idea but they've been there for about 10 years.

Had cold roast beef on toast, plus a pear, some cherries and the first of this season's plums from the garden for luncheon. Along with the obligatory two

It rained while I was eating, but at least I had the forethought to go out first and cut some greenery with which to tie my posy (ivy & bay). After it stopped raining, I sat in the shade on the drive listening to the qually from Hungary.

Following that, I tied my posy - taught myself to do that some time ago, as the bought ones from a florist are rather spendy. Thanks to the clubcard money off vouchers, the whole bouquet cost me diddly squat.

Watched my first and only Formula E race of the season as it was on FTA on Quest. Irritating that it has gone behind a paywall.

And now it's time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

A cyclist is not a cyclist if you don't own and experience the enjoyment of tandem riding 😀

Rain radar says it raining - nope, was hoping not to need to water the planters

Lovely supper of pasta in a creamy tomato & mediterranean vegetable sauce.

It's raining ☔

Not raining a bit further along the A45

Nor here, just north o'the M62, at the same time of day.

Some rather dark-looking clouds rolled in as the sun was setting. I suspect there may be some more precipitation in the offing this evening. Tomorrow is looking dry, but I shall still chuck the waterproofs and umbrella in the car.

Those cables need sorting out, the outers are way too long. Those stokers handlebars attached to the saddle aren't on the strongest mounting point...
The ferrules aren't even the right way round at the levers. If you've to stop quick on your getaway, you're in trouble before you start.

Well it did briefly rain, eventually the outline of individual rain drops on the paving made an attempt at merging together and it stopped.

London has beeen ridden and I'm not sure I want to do that again for a while. The roads are good enough, the route was fine and I could put up with the traffic, but the errant pedestrians/sightseers, food delivery e-bike riders (don't think I saw a legal one) and the clueless Boris/Sadiq bike riders are an absolute nightmare.
If i go again, I think I'll just find somewhere to have a few drinks and just watch the world go by.
