Sadly, I gave up on the Copenhagen Wheel that my friend ordered for me last year. When they still could not give me a delivery date on January 1st, I simply had my friend cancel the order. I am now looking at a considerably more expensive option. This bike comes with a 24" wheel, which makes it a much better fit for me than the 26" Raleigh I am now riding. I also realized that I really need disc breaks if I have gone electric, regular squeeze breaks will have to be replaced nearly monthly in the hilly terrain I bike in every day. (sigh).

That is so cute!  Looks like it is in pristine shape too.

My latest wheeled acquisition... a 1966 Raleigh RSW Compact folding bike, complete with plaid back pack bag. Ye gads, this was made the year I graduated from High School!

Short ride today, but it was 60 degrees  and even lightly garbed, my felt helmet cover was too warm.  So it will be retired for the season and my green straw will replace it.  Wow, and it is only mid-February...but there is no such thing as climate change ....

This gave me such a giggle, I couldn't help posting it.  Please take it in the context of the time it was printed.

So ... Here I am with Daisy Bell and my new Brooks saddle after an 8 mile ride.  I am not too sore, but I imagine I will  really know tomorrow.  Mr. Chrisman gave em some good advice about conditioning my saddle and it appears to me that it will  break in well before the end of winter.  Of course it was like 45 degrees F today.  No really. I had to take off my leather riding cape because i was sweating.

You may find https://m.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421914688&x-yt-cl=84503534... interesting; it is a 1945 British film on the making of Raleigh bicycles. A lot of hand work was still involved; except for the specially-built automatic cutting machines that replaced jigs and hand tools, bicycle manufacture was still not far removed from how it had been at the beginning of the industry.
