me too..... bike being serviced this weekend, finally new tyres and I will be binning the cage for the bike.

Car park been taken off us at work so this is cheaper and gets me to work quicker :-)

And Woozle will get more confidence and get her bike holidays in this year !!

Liking this! :smt023

Its annoying that Mrs Skips Astra Eco4 cage can do 200 miles on about £20 but its about as interesting as falling asleep to drive...

Its enjoyable knowing that you aren't spending too much getting to your destination but as far as the pleasure of actually driving it... ZZZzzz

is it just me or has anyone else noticed, petrol stations seem to increase petrol prices by 1p per litre every time you drive past :( its now getting to the point where people are getting forced off the road.

i think about journeys before i make them to try and save £££ unless its Darley, Mallory or Oulton lol :)
