I see Josie Dew is in the latest issue of the CTC mag, with one child in the front of her Danish Nihola and the other in a tag-along. Hopefully you'll get a decent turnover of new books at the weekend - I've plenty more I can bring in to swap.</p> <p>Min, that would be annoying, sort of like a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4044#post-42106 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:03:19 +0000 DaveC 42106@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hear hear! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4044#post-42099 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:46:20 +0000 Min 42099@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do we? Not sure Ruggtomcat is quite the same (unless I have forgotten someone). I know we have more Dave's than the mind can comfortably conceive. Perhaps Tom should change his name to Dave just to keep things simple? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4044#post-42093 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:32:54 +0000 LaidBack 42093@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>...but we already have a Tom!</p> <p>I'm working my way through your book swap collection... reading Josie Dew's Long Cloud Ride. Pretty amusing - some good Kiwi dialogue..</p> <p>Bicycle Diaries is back - cc reviewed it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4044#post-42046 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 11:39:12 +0000 Cyclingmollie 42046@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't have Mollie the bike any more and my kids don't ask if I'm cycling Mollie today and it looked like I was female. So now it's just Tom. </p>
