Cor! That’s a lovely shot. Beautiful weather and a lovely reminder of how fine weather can sometimes be in winter. Cycling in Britain must have reached some kind of milestone; on a recent trip to Aberdeen this week, (oil capital of the north), where even owners of cars smaller than a tank drive in fear of their lives, I spotted someone weaving through the traffic on one of those Bakfiets thingies. Looked quite the thing, too!
Hello Ian… I think there are signs that perhaps the tide is turning: even in the US, the home of the car culture, car sales are dropping. There’s hope yet…

Hello both, thanks for the comments…
@perthcyclist: It was nice, I guess it’s the altitude and climate but we do get very clear skies here in winter.
@disgruntled: I guess cyclists think alike and celebrate great weather. It’s gone back to grey and overcast now though…
