I have no car and I don´t like to travel by train, but I love my old bike.
Somehow it was my best friend this summer, when I did about 1000 miles within three weeks on my England tour.
It suffered a lot on this journey, but brought me back home well in the end.
And it is still good enough for the short trips and daily tours I do, as long as the weather is fine.
For others, taking part in the september challenge '30 things about you', have a look here:
