As I wander about the local area I notice certain bicycles.
Not the over-engineered uber-machines but the everyday examples of human transport.
Rusty, (usually) hand re-painted, slow, steady and reliable.
Their condition tends to reflect their owners.
Here's my first example:
Seen in London Road Bognor is 90 year old errr,
I'm kicking myself for not asking him his name, unforgivably rude of me.
The bicycle is a Raleigh Superbe probably a 1970's model going by the lighting and brakes. Hand painted the same green as his shed.
I'm now off in search of the other 'out-sider' cyclists that haunt the by-ways of Bognor Regis.
Especially the guy that rides the metallic green Raleigh Twenty.
