A bank holiday weekend has come and gone in a flash! Amy is away in Texas for a couple of days and I am holding the fort. Little Jake is much better now and on really good form. On the plus side he has been sleeping all night without waking and on the minus side he has been waking at 6am. Muy fatal!
On Saturday I went to Catford with Lise to choose a bike so that I could start to ride to zone 3 and save 70 on my monthly travel card. I had my eye on the Trek T30 but they didn’t have it in my size. As often happens with these things I walked away with a completely different bicycle. In fact I had never even heard of the make. It is a Ridgeback Rapide Velocity. I was completely sold after taking it round the block for a test ride. It has an aluminium frame, strong rims and a shimano rear cartridge(whatever that means). I had the shop fit some nice mudguards and the lock bracket. My next purchase is a baby seat for Jake and a suitable bicycle for Amy and then we’ll all be cooking on gas :-).
