I think we may have to wait till they develop the opposable thumb. Doesn't stop them from plotting, though...

indeed, sometimes w/o the leash. since my dog bite last year I like to save video frames of dogs off leash
this one was well behaved & posed no threat
this one was erratic & I had to slow to a near stop. the owners made no eye contact w/me & seemed to pay the dog no attention
this old soul looked safe enough but I slowed way down to pass it
this is the cutie pie that bit me
this is the cutie pie that was responsible
it had quite the sting
& cost me a few bucks to replace the zipper that the dog tore
but I digress ...

I know someone who lived way out yonder in Norway and kept huskies; on his first year he didn't have a "Dry Sled" so for one memorable season he trained four huskies on a mountain bike. He said it was fine once they got going but he went through a set of disk brake pads every week and couldn't stop for the first mile or so.
As he put it "If I'd met someone walking the other way with their poodle I'd probably still be in jail:"
He got a dry sled after that but still regularly uses "Dog Assist" when travelling by bike.

Today's been productive and frustrating.
Frustrating in that I'm waiting on a colleague to do some work, which they're very late with. And they're avoiding me.
Productive in that my Holdsworth Roi de Velo finally had it's new bottom bracket and aero black crankset after 12 months and three attempts. I'll be testing it tomorrow.
Oh, and I was donated a free Norwegian bike from the 1970's. It's a bit heavy and antiquated. They were left a box of chocolate biscuits in return and, of course I didn't let them know they were discounted

We used to free camp in our camper at the East Sands beach and there was a long paved road the whole way along with a wide grass area each side. Nice spot but probably not now possible to camp.

Oh, and I've seen this frame from China which would be a replacement frameset for my Fuji. I don't need one, but ... it's described by the seller as 'red'. However, would this be appropriate for riding around the streets of West Yorkshire?

No, its not road legal, but I love the colour, can it be fitted with brakes?.

With a front brake it'd be legal as it's a fixie and the fixed element acts as a rear brake. It'd also be for grasstrack racing rather than the Fuji I have currently - which ended up in a bush thanks to a certain lady TT champion giving me a "friendly shove" last time out.

I have a new posh helmet. It's so posh I can't work out how to undo the magnetic buckle so am currently wandering round the house wearing it.
It's an S-Works Evade in white with cobalt blue. And no, I didn't pay that much; I live in Yorkshire

Maybe the extra price is for the instructions on how to take it off...
