Interesting article about space and parking in (us) towns. http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fed.gr%2Fcseeh&h=AT0CsSkzGoJZEWu_RKv2vXcd2oxsBEsjwUsldr4p4QpKVSQMJUVfuSlyHjyursHIqENn20B_Vwoae6CNFq4-BudqzkBe1DLC7IsEMvpcG1swOKrs1a2MBN4Gz1kxNu34_w

We love the bespoked show...nothing much purer than a makers thoughts translated into a working thing. even better if that thing is a device to move you (and possibly your family or goods). Handmade bicycles are a joy to be around....Harrogate this year...if you want to see the best of the best....we very much enjoy the show as past participants and attendees...one good thing about showing there is being able to walk around a lot...over several days and see new things each time......we are especially liking reading the awards list for the last show in 2019. We were very much appreciative to be recipients... https://www.bespoked.cc/awards.html
AWARDS Every year at Bespoked we ask leaders in their field to select a number of bicycles and products that they feel excel in their field.

a little mention for us this this 2020 feature for road.cc https://road.cc/content/feature/great-custom-handbuilt-frames-194774 a dog carrying bike that could be 'thinned' to just 30cm to be stored in a hallway....the customer speced dog box is still used but has been replaced but a slightly smaller version...You might spot it if you walk around Bristols harbourside..
The best handbuilt frames — 25 makers who can craft your dream frame Fancy a frame to your exact specification? These builders can deliver
It's getting to the time of year (and in the pandemic) where we can start to look forward to sensibly distanced rides around the harbour side....thanks for the pic...
