There's a new bike in town


Not sure if he's staying or just passing through

Ice Boy is leaving

I shall miss him grooving around the house in my sweaters and making his multi-stack-Scooby-snacks.

Ice Boy arrived with no clothes apart from the ones he had on, his sister took him to a shop and filled many bags with vegetables and tomato sauce and underpants and t-shirts.

Instead of bringing a suitcase, Ice Boy brought his bike which he checked on to the plane at Iceland and flew all the way here to Bristol. Ice Bike is baby-blue-and-white and ... like a dolls' bike. First day in the UK Ice Bike gave up the ghost, a pedal dropped off and it hasn't been used since.

Ice Boy says that he's going to give it to a charity and I asked if he was fed up about bringing a bike all the way to the UK and not be able to use it

No not at all the bike box was huge, there was so much space - I fitted many boxes of Cheerios in around the bike

    1. Exactly - we'd have chosen Mon Cheri chocolates wouldn't we?

  2. Nice bike with a view. Looks well-thought out with the extra bracing. Might be a bit tricky to mount/dismount?

    1. I'm imagining it's ridden by someone who appears to be a grown man but is actually three little boys on each other's shoulders

  3. The New Bike appears to have been modified for someone with very long legs.Or a masochist.

    Thanks to Google I now know what Cheerios are.
