Bit rubbish photo on phone but WC can be made out. Also Christmas lights on the LB Fuego which is the kind of thing that brings recliners into (more) disrepute. For those that got a Velo Vision mag do read the bit about load bikes in Gothenburg and why electric cars can never solve our energy mix.

All by candlelight, and really quite horrible canteen food.
