Pashley Bicycles I Need

Cuparius — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:19:06 +0000

Here is the bike I want: the ~~Roadster Sovereign~~ Roadster 26 Sovereign by Pashley Cycles.

I am also partial to the Waikiki Sunrise.

~~And if I could own three Pashleys, I’d get the Guv’nor for recreational bicycling on sunny days.~~

Shopping List for My Bicycle

I plan to start buying one piece of equipment for my bicycle per week for the next few weeks. Early on I purchased a new air pump and a basket with a lid for the rear rack. Today, I bought a stainless steel water bottle (for only $4). On Friday I’ll order a mirror (made in Germany and nicer than any other I’ve seen in stores). After that, I need to get lights, a repair kit, an emergency air pump, and a bottle carrier that doesn’t require a frame with holes in it. A hub generator would be nice to have, too.

Bicycle Wine

This is the label of the bottle of wine I bought two nights ago:

I’ll be keeping the bottle (and the wine was good, too).

Back on the Bicycle Seat

Here are two pictures of my new (old) bicycle, which became mine on Friday the 10th. It is a Schwinn World Tourist of undetermined age (so far), but I know it was made in Taiwan with certain parts made in Japan.
