"Rocco's in Malvern might, or build something similar from the ground up. Shall we explore this idea further?"

"I want someone to make a set of leather dress shoes with cleats, so I can go from the bike into the office. I'm considering going to a specialist shoe maker to put in a custom order. Would anyone be interested in putting a group order?"

Now tell us about your bicycles ...
I have a triumph of Chinese least cost construction Tandem Beach Cruiser I use to "recruit" my partner into the bicycle "lifestyle". I have a nice tourer for commuting which occasionally gets to ramble in the country side. I have a hard rubbish 10 speed for the jobs where the bike might get nicked.
Finally I have a recumbent on semi-permanent loan to someone more willing than I to be approached by total strangers who want to play recumbent 20 questions.
A few words about yourself. (This bit is entirely optional!)
After a disappointing run of money sucking unreliable student cars, I gave up on the whole car gig and now get about by bike. In 2002/3 I rode around Australia.

Ride from Chile to Canada

Sail (or nuclear powered icebraker) from Canada through the north west passage during high summer to Europe (Halifax to Archangel) - i.e. take advantage of global warming to travel through the gaps in the arctic icepack.

Ride through Europe to… Continue
