that was cool. I used to live there in the olden days. I reckon post bikes could be a really affordable adventure bike.Hey ET you're not far off, get a look at this.

Second-hand Tri-ang "Wizard" tricycle (minus rear mudguards, plus super push-action bell)
In 1953 took 4 year-old me on solo, unauthorised "adventure" from Marsden Street, South Shields into the 'outback badlands' of Jarrow .. (just)
RH Pedal fell off 50 yards from front door on way back ..
.. much distress caused to all concerned when I walked through front door.
Never been on a real adventure since ... maybe I should buy another Tri-ang
