Mystery surrounds the partial collapse of a shop front in York. Bricks from the bay window above the Phoenix Restaurant in Clarence Street fell into the street early this morning causing chaos at a busy junction in the city centre.
There are some lovely illustrations in this article. They are all drawn from a competition on the theme of cycling. Most of the posters promote the green and healthy aspect of cycling – although there is one entitled the The Joy of Cycling that’s just a bit naughty.
I love this bike even when it’s standing in the hallway awkwardly folded up with it’s wheels side by side. I had to leave it at the cycle shop earlier this week because a spoke in the back wheel had broken. I was loaned a Giant Expression full sized bike to keep me mobile, but when I collected my orange Dahon this morning it was like being reunited with an old friend.
I had briefly thought perhaps I should change the folder for a “proper” bike, but sitting back in the saddle this morning I just felt right. Welcome home old friend! Perhaps you should have a name?
