We bimbled up to South Shields today, me on my SSed Soul (26, obvs) and OH on his bike (avec pannier) for beer and a sausage roll (me) and a pheasant pie (OH). Pottered home via a couple of pubs… All in around 40 miles in about 7 hours- what a smashing day!
Took in a slice of Pembrokeshire with the wife last weekend. Lovely day out, apart from her bike going tringle speed due to a snapped rear gear cable until we found a bike shop. I did the fixing that while she went shopping. The rosé was a little under-chilled, but not unpleasant.
Headed out for a full days bimblin’ yesterday, stupidly decided to take in a cheeky bit of singletrack, completely mis-judged a jump and ended up in A&E with a broken collarbone. This bimblin’ lark turns out to be dangerous!

Here’s my Bimblecore weapon of choice. I tend to ride with stuff in my backpack, or do some local bimbles on it. Definately not a group ride weapon, but gr8 for solo exploring.
I might add gears, as although I love the idea of single speed, the reality is that my knees and chubby frame don’t suit it.
Did some great bimbling around at the weekend on the new bike, had a lovely relaxed tour of the local woods heading down all sorts of small and muddy paths to see where they ended up;
