Having problems with the brakes on the trike so I thought I'd get the drum off and have a look - got a leaking wheel cylinder now!
And I'm working Sat Sun and Mon and supposed to be taking grandchildren out Tues and going away on the trike Weds. Phoned the workshop and they can do it Tuesday so I guess Mike's elected to take the grandkids out on his own, he'll love that! So I get to ride it about 20 miles with effectively no rear brakes, eek.
Lucky there's a bloke at the workshop who has a Reliant Robin so they've always got spares.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

Good News Bikergran!
Means you get to stop to pose for the pics on your round britain rally rather than trying to snaffle a shot as you whizz by!!!!!!
Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly
