I just got one of her books! She is cycling round the English coastline. Its good, but strangely full of kind of interesting but a bit boring details... I wish I'd got the trans-american one first.

BUT

I am just reading about how White Van Men are shouting about her bum, so I looked at the front cover again...


She's a bit alright, isn't she? :shock: :oops:

*feels a bit pervy*

    Read her books a few years ago, time for a browse of Amazon marketplace I think.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Mike, off topic I know, but like you I have a Langster (2007 rust-coloured model) and notice your Carradice set-up. Do you recomend that bag for carrying my gym kit? I need enough space for light clothing, a towel, trainers and wash kit. I really don't like riding with a rucksack, but the Carradice system seems to be winning me over.

    Her US and Japan books are very good. The English coastline one is ok, but IMHO not as good as the others.

    No problems, my longflap camper bag is cavernous. You should have room left over.

    p.s. I have the 2006 wrongster, not the poo coloured one. :P :P

    Cheers Mike, I think my mind is made up regarding the Carradice. People laughed when I told 'em I was getting a poo-coloured bike.......until they saw it, lol. Mind you, I think it makes it a little less attractive to thieves, but not much. Great bikes though eh?

    Carradice bags are those nice 'under the saddle' onces aren't they?

    I tried to buy one once, but my beard wasn't long enough ;-)

    Would a Carradice bag be large enough to store a Josiedew? They could away free ones with special edition bags.

    I must have an invisible one then. I don't yet have an aerobelly or drink real ale either, to go with my recumbent.
