So out in the sticks a few of us decided we'd organise a local breakfast
for Ride to Work Day. We sent an invitation to the local councillors,
offering to arrange the loan of bikes if they didn't have one. Easy, I
thought. So one has come back with a request -- for a penny farthing.
Apparently he has ridden one before.
So does anyone have any idea where I can borrow one, at least for Ride
to Work Day, and maybe beforehand for a publicity shot?
