I met up with a friend today who couldn't see the point in wasting energy pedaling around. She figured that if you could combine your effort on a bike with some domestic chore then that would make sense. Like if I could build her a bike that was also a sewing machine then she might consider...

Ok I'll talk to my family about which day, will only be able to bring over 2 vet bikes and the others will have to hire a bike in Winter Garden. But we'll let them join in anyway :)
Hi Andy, just seen the Facebook, nice one. I'm back in Florida from 24th May, just wondered about maybe a ride on the West Orange @ Winter Garden one week end if others are up for it.

Try this link, not sure it's going to be much use as all old British bikes but who knows . Keep us posted as to how you progress.

Take care guys and hope to catch up when I'm back in May

Yes that would be better to get things going. Trying to think of things appertaining to Florida
"Hurricanerats" "Toohotrods" "Rat and mouse rides" "Alirators" well it was a try. Besides any country who can consider having a president called Mitt and Newt (thought it was the latest Disney...
Apart from the forks everything else came apart real easy. Lulled me into a false sense of ease until I came up against the forks.
It's going to look great when finished - just a shame I'm too tall to ride it, but I'll have a go. :x
