Whitley Bay In Regular Clothes

Number Four - The Busy Mum:

  • Extremely sensible, big-grin inducing bike? Check!
  • Sensible luggage capacity? Check!
  • Sensible, every-day clothes? Check!
  • Cotton-bag-over-shoulder-flower-in-hair? Check!
  • Sleeve of child’s raincoat poking out of that bag? Check!
  • Handlebar mounted child seat? Check!
    • Child? Fail! Actually, the child was just out of camera shot on his / her (what do I know?) own bike. Probably less than three years old, and already on two wheels, without stabilisers! Check!

It’s one of Whitley Bay’s cycling mums - I see her around all the time, but even at a mum’s sedate pace, by the time I get my camera out, she’s usually in the distance. Even slow cycling is surprisingly quick!

    Brilliant.

    That’s a good quote to remember too, “Even slow cycling is surprisingly quick!”
