ely-looking, if somewhat battered Rudge Sports Tourist (?) for £50 in Halifax on muppetplace - as I understand it these are essentially the same as the Raleigh Sports Tourist of the same era, with a different fork and that lovely burgandy paint. I keep an idle eye out for these as I'd love one as a town-wafter; thankfully this one is a bit too far away to represent a threat to my already diminished shed space..

Pipe bomb; lest one should encounter a belligerent Tesla driver or other road-foe...

I wonder what batteries would go in there.
