Just thought I'd mention this. It's 17th & 18th May, and from what I understand is a good opportunity to take a nose at electric bikes and other forms of alternative transport, as well as a country lane bike ride and the electric bike Tour de Presteigne. There's more about it on the Presteigne website http://www.presteigne.org.uk/Organisati ... gid---4013 We're toodling along as we live just up the hill from Presteigne, looks like it'll be a great weekend

Sounds great - let us know how it goes.

I went to an eco weekend in Presteigne a few years ago and it was excellent!! We use to stay near Hay on Wye.

Why do I always think when I read that name that it's in France?

No, it's not in France, it's at the bottom of our hill in sunny Herefordshire/Powys, depending on where it suits me to live on any given day

We're off to the electric bike exhibition this afternoon which Mr D is particularly excited about. I quite fancy one of those little tent type trailers for wee ones which goes on the back of a bike for when this little one arrives, but Presteigne's traffic is such a muddle that I think I'd rather be on foot with a pushchair so I can leap out of the way when necessary!

Can't say I blame you for that!
