What a brilliant set of old bikes! Rusty handlebars and springs, uncomfortable looking seats, a wicker basket – what’s not to love?

So not 21st Century comfort!

    Well, at the risk of being picky, they don’t look the most comfortable ride in the world, Sue 🙂 🙂 🙂

    I remember sitting on one of those seats. Oooooh. So lumpy.

    Definitely more enjoyable to look at than to ride 😀

    Those old delivery bikes must have been such hard work for the riders. Great nostalgia, Sue. 🙂
    Best wishes, Pete.

    Brings back memories of my hours of rubbing rusty spokes with Duraglit wadding. My dad was a stickler for shiny spokes, and mine just didn’t want to cooperate. 😦
