I've Got a Bike

Isn't Freecycle wonderful? It's the network of local groups where people post adverts offering stuff they don't need anymore and other people come and take it away. It was first described to me as "like eBay, but free". I love it.

At the weekend I collected bikes for me and Tom. Many thanks to Kate from Levenshulme and Mary from Whalley Range (fab house, by the way!) Sam can have Tom's old bike, and I'm still looking out for a bike for Ellie. If I can't find one on Freecycle before the summer holidays I'll have to buy one, but I don't mind. We've done very well to get so many bikes for nothing. Come to think of it, Ed's bike was a Freecycle find as well.

I LOVE freecycle, too, such a good way to get rid of things, and to find odd things you could never buy in a million years. Eg, I needed lids for our dustbins to keep off the crows which have suddenly started divebombing the bins and making a terrible mess. The original ones had all blown away. One ad in freecycle, and two days later - three new lids. Only on freecycle!

Great hair, by the way

"Great hair, by the way"

Thanks. It's probably not environmentally friendly to bleach your hair but sometime you've just got to rebel.

Congratulations on your bike finds! Now you just need a trailer or two and then you can ditch the car altogether. hehe

I love the bike, handy place for a bag (or a backa for me) on the back. Cool hair too Mel.
I love freecycle too, I reply to lots of 'wanted'posts, cos I think 'Yeah, I've one of those in the garage that I want shopt of', but I'm rarely organised enought to post giving stuff away. Peaople always seem so grateful when they come to collect. It's a nice world we live in, isn't it :)

Bikes are a great idea, Mel, but, knowing your roads, I do hope you get some protective gear before going out on them, especially helmets.

Yep, gotta love freecycle. I once got about $300 worth of cloth diapers from a Freecycler.

Freecycle is great and what a fab bike. I have managed to pass loads of things onto a new home, the best of which was small kennel which went to a family of 7 who run a chicken farm in Norfolk (who also have ferrets, fish, cats, dogs, horses, rabbits...etc..). The only thing I've managed to nab a nearly new tyre, which acts as a ball pit for the kids in our garden. It felt like winning a raffle ;-)

Don't worry, dad, we've all got helmets. The picture was taken when I was just practising going up and down our cul-de-sac, which is a only a few dozen yards long. I haven't ridden a bike in 25 years. It's not true what they say, you know - you can forget how.
