Just renewed my bike insurance. Half of what it cost last year. How does that work?

Not complaining, mind.

As everyone was doing it, I joined in by reseeding some of the holes the squirrel keeps digging up. We had 8 at one stage, along with a stoat, 2 badgers, and the Foxes. Now we're down to just 1 squirrel.

I did a Bikesafe day at Worthing, all good except I was critiqued for trimming a painted mini rbt.

The hardest thing I found was sticking to the speed limits…

I took a Goldstar riders course back in the 80s. I came free with my bn bike. Spent 3 hours riding around cones, then 3 hours of road craft.
I was the only one to have gears; all the rest had things like the Honda Express. We had to keep stopping or slowing to walking pace for them to catch up.
This course was meant to give discounts on insurance but if IRC, I was only paying £45 fully comp.
I bet only us oldies can remember the silver,bronze, and gold star courses
