Loaded up on the trip home |
It's almost Thanksgiving and there isn't a lot of sailing going on in our neck of the wood. So I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to a new piece of boat equipment....sort of. Meet Ms Moneypenny, my new boat folding bike. Actually I have had her for a little while. We have been getting acquainted as I get used to riding a much smaller (wheels and frame) bike.

Today was a lovely fall day with temps close to 70 so I pulled out Moneypenny and we popped down to "the Village" for a few items from the grocery store. Amazingly she can carry quite a bit. However my ability to bike back up a small hill on the way home with the full load is not.....as in I usually have to get off and push near the top until it flattens out. Oh well.

Building a padded bag so she can be folding down and greased for storage. |
Very cute! I love the crate on back -- incredibly practical. Glad to see your little bike make an appearance on the blog.
ReplyDeleteGiven the amount of food I ate today for Thanksgiving, I think I will need to be spending more time with Ms Moneypenny. But it was worth it...Yum-O!
ReplyDeleteSailor Andy emailed me to ask if Ms Moneypenny is outfitted with hidden lasers.....maybe.
