We've got two of them, our neighbour has a four wheeled one.

Thats the one.
Got that. My neighbour has a proper space age one. Has an integrated seat, brakes, folds and is super light. Not cheap but looks good.
I've been thinking about this. As we approach our dotage and the time on the bike gradually diminishes perhaps we can look forward to "blinging up" our walking frames. I'm thinking Titanium with Carbon Fibre bottle cage attachment and Garmin mount, Mavic wheelsets and Ultegra brakes. We can upload the time it took us to walk to the Post Office / pub/ Bookies etc to Strava and get into endless debates about tyre pressures vs rolling resistance 😁

Another wander done. Legs a bit weary but making the most of the dry weather. You can see from the sky that there is a change on the way.
Mr Mole wasn't in. I knocked but he didn't answer!

At first glance I thought the sign said "Mo's House" 😁 There's several "fairy doors" at the base of trees as you follow the path around our little local Pocket Park. The children love it and from time to time new ones appear.

Bonsoir tout le monde. I have some good news . The cardiologist has given my wife a phone consultation and it was worth it. He was very thorough and concluded that the funny turn my wife had two weeks ago was not angina or heart related but he still wants her to have a heart scan, possibly within a month. He has taken her off some medicine that was making her very tired all day too.
Because of this, I will be going back home to Wales on my own on Wednesday in case the appointment comes very soon and also her second vaccin jab.
I have to go back home for my second jab on Thursday but will be coming down again to potholes county sometime in April to help our daughter move and her radio therapy.
Not looking forward to the 320 miles journey home though but no choice. At least, Molly will be with me.

The walkers are a different thing altogether and more for outdoor/shopping use. We had one which folded for transport but also incorporated a basket and a seat. It had brakes also. It had 4 wheels but the front ones were closer together than the back. The 4 wheels were important I think for stability particularly if the seat was used for a rest.
Think tadpole and delta trike. I have had no issues with the tadpole type but nearly couped a delta one several times.
