After weeks of saying I would get around to it I got around to visiting Mum6 on her quiet street. It helped my motivation once she mentioned that her front brake was stuck on because BikeOnMums do not allow brakes to be stuck on for longer that twenty-four hours. Also it gave me an opportunity to take a junior team member, who loves dogs, along to witness the much anticipated viewing of Archie riding in the basket. Mum6, who exhibits a refreshingly scant regard for safety, (and shockingly none of the three people I saw that morning riding bikes on her street were wearing helmets) demonstrated how Archie enjoys riding harness-less in an old basket which is not attached to her bike but rocks gently on an angle from her handlebars. Mum6 also mentioned that her gears sound a bit funny. This is something that does happen on occasion with bikes - one of my bikes has developed a strange squeak like noise which I may do something about one day. So I have authorised Mum6 to take her bike to BikeOnMums preferred mechanic as he knows what to do with funny sounding gears. This also gave me a valid excuse to pop in to Soul Cycle Repairs and luckily I did as if I had not then I would not have realised that I needed to order some more tools.
