When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race

I saw this on Strong Island and had to share it. I've heard about Stu Trett's Olde Bike Shoppe before and was tempted then to contact him but never did. I've always wanted to buy a vintage bicycle but I'm very nervous on a bike so I always wimp out - in fact Andy actually gave me some money to buy a bike as a Christmas present 3 or 4 years ago... I think I ended up buying my lovely newgate clock instead.  


The Olde Bike Shoppe is such a wonderful idea and you can tell the Stu really loves what he does - so much so that he has photographed everyone of the lucky people who have been through his doors. I love this - the image is a bit small here but over on Strong Island you can see it better


For those in Southsea The Old Bike Shoppe will be at the Southsea Boutique Market on Saturday - you can find out more on Facebook here. It looks like its going to be a good weekend as there is the Love Southsea market on Sunday too. I'm sadly not having a stall as its the first weekend in ages I'm spending off with Andy but I'm hoping to go to both and get a dose of retail therapy

Have a lovely weekend x
