    Smile

    Phew, sigh of relief, all is good and I don't need stabilisers!

    So, after a round trip of almost 7 hours, thanks to my partner doing all the driving, we finally got home with my
    "Jubbly"





    Cool folding handlebars

    The reflective strips and reflective tyres are quite good.



    Just about to fold it


    Panic, the seat did not seem to go down enough. I started "spitting my dummy out" as I was starting to worry.

    First thing this morning, riding Jubbly, all was good, of course it will take a while to feel really confident but for what I want to use it for it will be great.

    Thanks for the comments, it is always lovely to think anybody is even remotely interested.

    NB During the 1950's there was an orange ice lolly in a triangular shaped package called a "Jubbly". When the advert use to come on TV, it was to the words of "Lovely Jubbly". Fond memories, so, my bike is called Jubbly, lovely Jubbly.

    you look so great riding on your Jubbly!!!
    Love the reflective tires and accents, and I think it's too cute that it has fenders.

    I'm so glad you like it!! Give us more updates as you ride it more and more.

    Is there a way to carry packages? A basket or a hook to carry a bag?

    Yes, you could hang something under the saddle providing it was not too heavy I suppose.



    Luggage rack: holds 30 lbs (14kg).......Although I do not think I would want to put anything quite that heavy on the rack.

    If I use the bike to go to the shops, I would take a back pack anyway..........and wheel my bike into the shop with me.

    I played out on it this afternoon, Jubbly is my bestest toy in about 50 years............

    This is such cool news for so many reasons!

    1) It's such a great looking bike.

    2) It's so good seeing you out and about riding it.

    3) And I can take some of the blame - or should that be credit? - for you getting it.

    Isn't it great when our partners encourage us in our efforts to be fit and active.

    I am so excited to see you on Jubbly - you are such an inspiration! Well done, Clock!

    Most definitely 3). Credit that is.

    The last few days everything has slowly eased up, especially the SOB. I actually did a couple of miles on Jubbly.

    Then the icing on the cake today, was that my team hit the first £1000 or $1515, so only another £7000 or $10608 to go. You can check it all out on my link below.
