I went for lunch to meet up with some biking friends, also popular with the mid-week crowd, many of whom are retired (as I am!). Walking back to my bright yellow Buell Firebolt I followed two elderly ladies, one of them using a wheeled walking aid. One pointed to my bike and said to the other " now doesn't that look lovely?"
