  1. Saw this odd duo cycling along my road today; a recumbent and a
    Brommie being ridden two abreast. Doubly unusual in that this neck of
    the woods is not a cycling mecca and such eccentricities are rare
    enough on their own.

    They turned into my daughters' school so I may find out who they were
    on Monday.

    For the record, the recumbenteer did not have a beard.

    Sounds like Pete and Roos.. but they are a long way away from you.

    Neither Pete nor Roos have beards.

    Odd?

    I have often ridden my Brommie while my daughter has taken out the trice.
    We've even cycled to her school on them.

    But not today.

    Neither of us have beards.

    Did you see the tandem unicycle in the November Cycling plus magazine ( the
    bit about the Eurobike show). That would be _most_ interesting to see in
    use.

    Non-recumbent, but Brad Graham's "Wild Bull" is an entertaining beast.

    Though my pal Neil, who now has a Kingcycle, has a beard big enough for
    about half a dozen typical beardy people.

    I tend to wear sandals, if that heps with folks' stereotypes...
