Thanks again to all of you; I'm getting so much attention these days I can hardly keep up with it all! Now today there is a piece about me on the American web site 'Pez Cycling' and you can read it here https://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=7807&status=True&catname=Latest News And...

Hi all, Today I received the good news that I have been voted into British Cycling's first 'HALL OF FAME' and that I'll be invited to the Federations 50th anniversary Gala Dinner in Manchester on the 20th of February 2010...

Keith, you could try one of the many cycle museums, like this one https://www.cyclemuseum.org.uk/vintage.htm Graham.

Jim's Christmas poem and message reminded me of Provident Cheques as my Christmas pressie would often be the left-over from mom's cheque. I was so embarrassed to go into a shop and show my Provident Cheque.:blush: Does anyone else have any memories?

My favourite skating music at SB was "Funny how love can be" by the Ivy League. YouTube- The Ivy League - Funny How Love Can Be (NME)

Does anyone remember the cycle racing at this ice rink? Yes cycle racing! The front fork had a skate blade and the rear tyre was with spikes. I don't have any photos but I know that my old mate Trevor Bull raced there, Trevor passed away this year with blood cancer. I met my first wife at the...

Robert, I think that I've told you before that I have Sheldons? My g grandparents were Joseph Sheldon, 1841, and his wife Jane, 1845. That's all I know about them. My grandparents were John Sheldon, 1882-1918 and his wife Florence Helen Butler, 1887. My mom was Lily Sheldon, 1910-1977. Graham.

You're lucky Alf, they knocked our house down and built a school, the Nelson Mandela.

Bernard I hate all cars the MGB was only bought in 1980 to replace the car that my wife had in the mid 60's, pure out of love.:headhit: Click to enlarge.

On Saturday I had the man from British Cycling come over to interview me he spent nearly 5 hours recording and writing, I was shattered, cycling is much easier! Only took them 42 years to send someone. The Lord Mayor and 1st alderman of the town where I live have seen my November 2009 coverage...

Near my summer home in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg another dawn breaks on my 1965 MGB with the castle of Bourscheid mysteriously shrouded in early morning clouds.

Thanks Les for the link, I've just ordered one of Small Heath & Sparkbrook.

So I finally got my copy of 'Cycling Weekly' today and a scan for all those that haven't seen it yet.

Bernie sorry for any delay but I've been busy on my old MG, the clutch was playing up so had to get the engine out and replace it. I don't know if they do track users. I don't have high hopes of finishing high up the list as most PC users are of a younger generation and many of them were not...

Lol Bernard!

Thanks to you both. Frothy I've signed up for your very good petition & cause, Graham.

Yes Darby but it's 'impairment' that looks like French to me. As I've said I should leave this to those who know.

Tom, I might be sticking my neck out here and maybe I should leave it to those who know but my first thought was that it was taken from the French 'impair' that means 'clumsiness' or 'awkwardness'. Just a thought from my half English brain.:)
