Made me smile. Imagine being out-cycled by an 80-year-old.

Good on her!!

Better get on my bike and start training, if I want to be that fit in, ergh, 30 years' time...

Yay for the granny! Do you think she hit him with her handbag?

You don't tend to carry a handbag on a bike...

Maybe she used the pump?

She had her handbag in her bike basket when someone rode past and swiped it. That's why she chased him and got it back.

Ah - sorry, should have read it properly first... I've always thought these baskets were a bit daft. There was a woman in Germany who transported her small poodle in it; I think it's actually quite dangerous to use it for live animal transport - could you guarantee that it won't jump out at an inopportune moment?

I think it was actually the car driver that retrieved it, but hey its a brilliant story...
well in a coupla weeks someone on my bike would have a number of rather nasty implements to choose from... tent pegs, alcohol burners...
