Today they went shopping for ribbons, french bread and a case of Montepulciano D'Abruzzo...
Poppy belongs to my young daughter and is a perfect introduction to an adult bike. She flies across bridges and down the main roads. Her basket is smaller than her mummy's, but it carries her cycling jacket, water bottle, strawberry laces, ribbons for Doc Martens and anything else we can think of.
Cherry has proudly carried a french stick, veggies, water bottles, Tunnocks Teacakes and a full case of wine...hic. She also likes to take a break at this riverside pub.
Here is a close up of the Aldi shopping basket in the same fetching shade of red, which fits perfectly into Cherry's basket.
Here it is carrying dog food for Tansy and Rupert.
This also involved a coffee break, where much praise and admiring glances are de rigeur. Gliding on a Pashley is like taking a classic British sports car for a spin. Heads turn and when you stop for refreshments, conversations over the bodywork are inevitable. The leather seats on both bicycles are, of course the Brooks B67s...
The handles on the Poppy are cork grip with a straight handlebar. On the Britannia they are leather grips and bent as on the Princess models...
Quite simply they are...
