My Brompton is feeling all Druidical this morning, here in Bangor, Gwynedd. A stone circle – though not Neolithic I think :-) in a small park overlooking the Menai Strait and the Isle of Mona or Ynys Môn (Anglesey), and the Holy Island across the Cymran Strait. The Romans in 60CE must have looked across at the same view, before Gaius Suetonius Paulinus and his Batavian cohorts destroyed the Druidic temples and oak groves. My racing green @bromptonbicycle could of course be described as ‘oak green’ and therefore associated with the ancient religion in spirit… . . #polaroid #polaroidphotography #polaroidphotograph #polaroidphotographer #polaroidphoto #instantphotograpy #instantphotographer #instantphoto #bromptonbicycle #brompton #madeforcities #bromptondruidic #stonecircles #ynysmon #ynysdywyll #isleofmona #photobyadrianrmarsh (at Bangor, Gwynedd) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjACpB_ov2W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Turkish approach to cycle safety… my darling @arzumarsh has a traditional notion of protection - the glass ‘bead’ against the evil eye 🧿 I certainly will continue to wear a bicycle helmet 🪖 be lit up like a Christmas tree, and invest in some Schwalbe Winter tyres with studs for the icy weather, once the plaster cast comes off. But my angel 😇 hangs a nazar boncuğu 🧿 above my @bromptonbicycle to ward off misfortune… and who’s to say it isn’t effective? Tradition is a powerful force! . . #brompton #bromptonbicycle #bromptonp6r #madeforcities #madeforadventures #bikecrash #brokenbones #tradition #nazarboncuğu #avertevileyes #recoveryride #photobyadrianrmarsh (at Baku, Azerbaijan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CngNNOhoCLI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@brompton Traveller this morning, with much better weather today, and even the odd, small yacht on the Caspian Sea @caspiansea Not that the weather has to be good. Britain’s greatest cyclist ever, and a world champion for 27 years Beryl Burton, believed that cycling only in fair weather was a sign of a weak soul! But winds of 50kmh are daunting on a bicycle, especially a @bromptonbicycle . . #brompton #bromptontraveller #bromptonbaku #madeforcities #bromptonculture #bromptonlife (at Baku, Azerbaijan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbjQTxoUpQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Really p****ng down this morning, so a wet ride on the @bromptonistanbul British racing green machine. Especially important to dry the Brompton with an old, absorbent towel, including up into the seat-post tube, then using a different cloth that is lightly sprayed with WD40, wipe the Brompton down over the frame, handlebars, rear triangle, and folding pivots. Do NOT get any WD40 on the seat post, wheel rims or brakes. Lightly spray the cranks, chain, tensioner and rear hub to push off any excess water, and re-lubricate the transmission. Check the brake cables for moisture before folding, so that you don’t allow water to slide into them when folded and corrode them, damaging your brakes and levers. Wipe the grit and mud off the shell rims and spokes with another damp cloth - don’t use this cloth on the frame as you can scratch the paintwork with grit on the cloth. Once that’s done, you can safely fold and store the Brompton somewhere dry. Maintaining your bike after rainy day riding is good for any machine, but especially for @bromptonbicycle as water can do so much damage by seeping into the tubes and cables, through the fold… . . #brompton #bromptonbicycle #bromptonistanbul #madeforcities #bromptonlife #bromptonbike #rainydaycycling #bicyclemaintenance #hipstamatic #frankblens #slickrock191 #photobyadrianrmarsh (at Istanbul, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaWB0doLXR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
