Brighton Bike Tag

hoping someone will get Round to this soon... (see the tag at bottom of previous page)

Bottom of Round hill Cresent. I used to live round here so recognised it but just couldn’t get out.

I'm impressed by those two massive "Brighton and Hove" planters at the bottom of RHC. I can't recall seeing anything like them elsewhere in B & H.

RHC is a classic and iconic location in Brighton, and I'm glad you featured the red phone box in your tag. I wanted to, but forgot.

Nice tag - cut through from Bartholomew square to Black Lion St.

@sea-level New bike or just one we haven't seen berfore (or recently)?

New bike or just one we haven't seen berfore (or recently)?

Good spot! A new, but secondhand, bike.

I read this article last year, and again this year: https://www.bikeradar.com/features/ridin­g-during-lockdown/ and was very taken with the Surly Steamroller, and the idea that I could do off-road detours while riding around town appealed to me a lot.

Good luck getting a new Steamroller anytime soon, plus I love the mustardy yellow colour from around 2018 (I think), so I pounced when I saw this baby going 2nd hand.

I love it. With fatter tyres and the steel frame, it's a smoother ride than (say) my Condor Lavoro. Plus I can off-road it whenever I want - e.g. the track that runs between Preston Park station and Withdean Stadium; also the woodland areas at the bottom of Coldean Lane.

Plus I've taken it up the Downs Link, Cuckoo Trail, Pevensey Levels and more. It's got a bit muddy, but that's ok.

Good old red-hubs Condor is on long-term loan to my friend Paul of Rule 5 Bikes so if you see that bombing around town, it ain't me!

Nice. I've got one as well and bloody love it.

Clue...

I rode past there yesterday but missed your new tag.

Guess I'll just have to go for another ride. Darn.

Now absorbed into a cafe - hence the long shot. It's on Madeira Drive, opposite the volks railway terminal.

Haha, so first the previous tag gets painted over, and then the new tag gets caféised. Whatever next?

I don't mind the first tag getting painted over so much, but caféising our one and only Penfold postbox seems a bit out of order.
