Wow. I don't know why but I love things like that.

It looks strangely capable. What's it like to ride?

Yes, I love these Dursleys, the BBC4 programme 'Thoroughly Modern' shown recently was about bikes and one of the contributers was riding his Dursley Pedersen

I heard it is similar to a modern day bike - and the earlier Dursleys were lighter because of the way it is constructed it can be very strong but light.

those Dursley Pedersens are about œ800 worth, shame to break it on a trail.

It is big and it is clever

Well, it is in that they both wish they were Irish

yes, let's hope he rides it on ground that's not too rough and it does not break. although, at the time they were made the roads must have been terrible compared to nowadays so they could be quite tough frames.

i wish i had a spare œ800 to get one!

Replying to the 'Original Pedersen' picture a person has added a link to the company that is still making Pedersens today - 12 versions of it.

hi stickman, the baldwin pub, blimey i used to drink in there!! i used to live down baldwins lane! i still ride down by the dingles and the park at the side and through the undergrowth!! so you must be localish to me and orangechimp (as above!!) im over by The Swan (cant say a*ocks Green wont let me!!)

I recognise most of those places in the pic, the old house is next to my dentist, and the tollgate i used to pass when i worked in coventry (happy days!!) never thought of taking a photo though!!

Im, glad you find the pictures interesting, one of the benefits of riding is all the photos that I shoot. Drunk in The Baldwin once, was a regular at Swan when it existed. Live along A45 Sheldon.

gilbertstone is where i'm at, we'll have to meet up for a ride i know loads of rides around by us. i'm out tomorrow night if you're interested, probably head out around the back of the airport, then up through elmdon and out to catherine de barnes, can usually get between 16 and 20 miles in. interested?

possibly, are you talking about mainly road and very light off-road? because the only MTB i have at the moment is my 24in dirt jumper which is no good for distances so i would have to use my cruiser. meet where and what time?

Stickman, no it's mostly off road, lots of single track as well, i don't think the cruiser would be a good choice. i've not got a spare bike at the moment either.
