Just back from a shopping trip to Worcester, including tea and sausage roll in Greggs. The lady in Poundland asked "Would you like a bag for life?" To which I replied, "I'd like a life!"

Took the scooter for MOT today. 53 mile detour on way home. Sunny but a bitterly cold wind.

I'll second that.
Took the pizza bike for another bimble around the local back lanes & visited a few churches one having a wooden bell tower for top 2/3rds (16th century rebuild of a 14th century, allegedly)
Popped into Co-op for some bread and soup realised I couldn't feel my ears

Well, It's nice to know that everyone has managed to get out on their scoots n bikes. Funnily enough, the weather changed favourably yesterday (Sunday), with warm sunshine and very strong winds from the West(ish). So........ I decided to make a dash for a 'secret spot' on my scoot with a mate on his bike somewhere over the Tamar Bridge, Cornwall. Struggled a bit into the wind on me Nmax, coffee and sunshine at the 'spot' and got bloody blown home!!
So, result for a lot of us yesterday. Today in Plymouth has been gorgeous with the wind slackening - so e-biked to work. (Am I allowed to mention riding an ebike on a scooter forum

!?)
