The bents attract so much (and, occasionally, unwelcome) attention that we have been contemplating changing bikes….so when we saw the new ‘Puky’ bikes in a shop recently we were instantly smitten !! But they will probably have to wait until our next round-the-world trip (this one is only a warm-up after all!)… Or perhaps we might use them for our lap-of-honour? ;p
Typical comments we get on the bents
“is that a bike?” (no it’s a jet aircraft)
“oi you lazy b*****d get a proper bike!” (thats a bit rich coming from someone cruising around in a comfy saloon)
“mate you’ve got your bike upside down!” (aha – knew something wasn’t quite right since that fall)
“how do you get started on those then?” (well the normal sequence is 1. Put right foot on pedal, push hard, then lift left foot on to the other pedal 2. Fail to lift left foot in time 3. Fall over and turn beetroot red whilst everyone around bursts out in laughter 4. Disentangle self from bike and remount 5. Go back to step 1 and repeat)
