Great to hear of others who love their vintage bikes. I too am still riding my 1972 Schwinn Sprint. The paint is in bad shape. I've replaced many parts over the years. I know that a new bike would be much improved mechanically but I just can't part with a trusted old friend. Happy riding.

i quite agree that the avenue needs a cycle lane of sorts and the current situation is great. i would not want to go back to two lanes of gridlocked traffic instead of one and a free cycle lane. traffic fills roads. half of the avenue is two lanes but the lower half is not, but is treated as it is with idiot drivers overtaking leaving and approaching burgess road lights. there has been a bottleneck as it turns into a single lane at the turning into the common, this has just been moved back 1.5 miles. don't be too quick to give road space to cars as currently us cyclists are safe and free flowing. people sat in cars keep dry and travel most of their journeys in ease. if they have to wait a little because there are too many of them in city centres then they could stagger their journeys, catch a bus, join us in cycling or put up with this little inconvenience.
