Darlington Pedestrian Heart: Yes! You can ride your bike

Woo hoo!

where’s darlington?

where’s darlington?

At the centre of the universe.

Darlo to those that know

To those in the ‘know’

What did the frequent graffiti tag “Darlo under 5’s” mean?

I have to say I really don’t miss living in Darlo

They were like the pre pubescent / child soldier wing of the the footie supporters / chav army.

Yeah, the Under 5s tags are everywhere; I’ve always assumed it was a footy gang thing, but was never sure. HMD is all over the place near me, which I discovered is Haughton Mad Dogs yesterday.

For Darlo-dwellers, there’s going to be a launch of a “Dutch Bike” loan scheme in the town centre on Valentines Day. If you fancy seeing a bit of Copenhagen Cycle Chic in Darlo, get yourself along. Could be a good way of gently encouraging wives, girlfriends and daughters to think about getting about by bike.
