This lady and her bicycle are a regular in Walyalup Koort. First time however we have seen her riding. Usually see her reorganising her setup.
Do you remember the good old days? Do you remember how it used to be? We're not going back.
I paid a return visit to Peak Forest on Tuesday after a gap of what must be about 20 years. The first time I came here was in 1986 when there was still a class 07 employed here and class 20s and 45s were commonplace. I remember visiting in summer 1990 on my pushbike, having travelled down on the train to Dove Holes from Manchester. Then it was all 37s and a class 47 at Dowlow. I'm still a bit surprised that I managed to cover Peak Forest, Tunstead, Buxton and Dowlow on a pushbike.
The last time would be in about 2000 with work when an 08 derailed on the long sidings. I remember that day well, because as the Bruff team re-railed the 08, something went ping and a small piece of metal the size and velocity of a bullet went flying past the group stood watching the re-railing, which is why today we have work activity risk assessments, full PPE and exclusion zones.
Good to see permissive freight working still in place, along with class 60s and class 20s as a bit of continuity from those previous visits. 60066 loads 6E19 at Peak Forest.
1974. Yamaha FS1-E. LFM 776N. Purple. 50cc. Date of first registration December 2021.
Launched in 1973 the Yamaha FS1-E was every young motorcyclist’s path to freedom. It quickly got nicknamed Fizzie or Fizz by the British youth and it was for many their first foray into life on two wheels. The FS1-E was the UK model. Machines registered in the UK from 1 August 1977 were restricted to a maximum of 31 mph. Yamaha spotted a market and released their 60mph FS1-E with a set of pedals on to conform to the UK laws.
Originally the FS1-E was built as a five-speed transmission light motorcycle. It was originally called the FS1. Due to the regulations in Europe, the FS1-E was downtuned with a four-speed transmission. The FS1-E had the ability to be powered by pushbike type pedals since this was a legal requirement for registration as a moped in the United Kingdom and some other European countries at the time.
The ‘E’ suffix at the end of the models name simply represented which countries regulations the FS1 had been produced to meet. ‘E’ was for England.
Today you can pick up a FS1 E for somewhere between £2,500 - £5,000 in the UK.

Just had to take a photo of this trike chained up in Gamla Stan, Stockholm. They do get a few stag and hen parties where the drink flows to excess despite their high cost, and I did see two drunks messing about at 5:30am with a shopping trolley that kept crashing..... But look at the size of this security chain plus there is another lock round the rear wheel too.
More paranoid or the owner has lost this mode of transport before??

Blustons, sandwiched between Chicken Cottage and Lidl.
Nice recessed doorways and note the red spheres low down on the decorative metalwork (echoed on the railings).

View back from the end of the pier marking the eastern side of Newhaven Harbour, East Sussex. Popular with anglers.
My first half hour out with this lens on a very cold walkabout through almost empty streets. Everyone else had the sense to stay inside in the warm......

From 2005, a Kojima Condor which I picked up via Nimm via a bring out the dead collection. It was made of Tange CR-MO 900 double butted tubes.
One of the bridges, or maybe it was the only one on the Camel Trail, which we rode between Wadebridge and Padstow in July 2016.
A couple of kilometres south of Wungong Campsite on the Mundi Biddi Trail. Nice riding on this part of the trail.
These guys all piled out of a "white van" together and moved on mass down Wellington's Fore street to "Greggs", presumably to get lunch.
Eighty years ago, John Gregg started out with one goal, to deliver (by pushbike) fresh eggs and yeast to the families of Newcastle. Ten years later he chained up his bike and opened Greggs of Gosforth. Making, baking and selling fresh bread and tasty treats from his very own shop on Gosforth High Street…there’s still a Greggs there today.
Greggs, now has 2,078 outlets operating across the UK

The previous night we had shared the gites at Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas with a very friendly group of French cyclists who were riding some of the Chemin de Stevenson [GR70]. They passed us a few kilometres out of Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas on a nice riding section of the trial.
Day 3 of 12 - Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas to Langogne: Walking the Chemin de Stevenson (GR 70 Robert Louis Stevenson Trail) in the south of France.
Next to the Salisbury Arms, one of the oldest Hotel and Public House in Hertford, stands this charming Dutch designed blue bike. I like the simplicity of the composition with the parking warden wandering down Fore Street looking for unwitting custom, there is an irony in this snap.
The final editing was in Adobe Photoshop Express which helped me accentuate the dull day with the blue of the bike matching the roof of the Corn Exchange further down Fore Street.
Brighton
Olympus RC35, PolyPan F @ 200 ASA developed in Kodak HC-110 dilution J ( 1:150 ) for 75 minutes, 45-second initial agitation then twice every 10 minutes.
Packed up and ready to head on out on the Munda Biddi Trail. All the Munda Biddi campsites have a sheltered bike parking area. Quite a nice considered feature of the campsites.
