it's an omen

Pete and I have been discussing transport in the last week or so. I fancy getting a camper van type thing, and we are also considering bicycles.

the latter mode was discussed at length last night, and I pointed out that my knees may not be up to pedaling now.

and - with chilling timing - my right knee is more painful today that I can ever remember it being. Arse. And "sod it" to arthritis.

we did discuss it briefly, but it limits perlmonger to only going out with me; or an alternative passenger ^H^H co-pedaller, I guess. And v expensive, and not that easy (I would imagine) to sling on a carrier.

but it's a tempting thought in many ways - P in his plus fours, and a tweed cap, and me in the sprigged muslin ...

You can ride them one-up, a friend of mine used to come to work on one. I guess it's harder work, but then perlmonger's only a slip of a young thing, really, isn't he? I'm sure he'd be up to it.

I used to regularly ride the tandems (father and I doing that bonding thing - or rather racing) solo - great if mother sent you out shopping and you didn't want to pay for the bus!

They can be riden quite happily from the front or back (providing you've got a bit of string!)
