Mowers

Anyway,
mowers. On skimming BS3 I noticed a small section on other HPVs and in
there was mention of pedal mowers! It hadn't crossed my mind that pedal
mowers were a possibility. My garden has a fair bit of grass, I wouldn't
call it a lawn, but it isn't massive. It does have a few slopes in it too.
It has set me wondering whether I could combine cycling with grass cutting.

Saturday i was delegated to mow the lawn :-(
I'd been out too much riding, so said SWMBO, and the kids were hiding in
the grass to avoid cleaning under their beds.
After just a few 'mows' the infernal machine blew up - loads of smoke
and graunching - it had died and I was off the hook.

Oh, no, "you can use that trailer you spent so much on" came the
response. "You can go and get a new one".

So with trailer hitched to the trice, I trundled to the nearest main
town for a new mower.
It was a slow ride home - and I took a detour via a nice pub. 15 miles
with a mower behind required suitable refreshment.

On returning home the kids were so excited over the new machine that
they completed the lawns while I polished my bike :-)

Well, it was one way to get someone else to cut the grass.

I finally got round to getting a copy of Bicycling Science 3. Amazon
included a leaflet from Centre Parcs which had a picture of three
cyclist, mum, dad and small child, only small child was helemted. Still
they were in some sort of sci fi alternative reality with swimming
pools. Anyway, mowers. On skimming BS3 I noticed a small section on

With a mower on board you could have taken a short cut.
