A Spider Bought a Bicycle

A spider bought a bicycle

And had it painted black

He started off along the road

With an earwig on his back

He sent the pedals round so fast

He travelled all the day

Then he took the earwig off

And put the bike away.

Phyllis Flowerdew (1913-1994)

And on that note I'm off to Thailand till the New Year (without a bike) to drink coco coladas and eat pineapple rice. Don't expect too much bikesandbuildings chat in the interim. Merry Christmas!
