To All The Bikes I've Loved Before

Pooky's bike's getting a bit worn looking. I expect next year he'll get a new one as he'll have grown another metre taller. This, for some reason makes me go all sentimental and reflective, and I'm the kind of mother who chucked her kids' first shoes in the charity sack as opposed to having them covered in plutonium and preserved for posterity. It led me to musing idly upon all the bikes I have owned in my life.

Bike #1: Tiny red one with stabilisers
Bike #2: Cool Raleigh Denim
Bike #3: Dorky white folding bike with blue saddlebag full of sketchbooks
Bike #4: Donated brown bike sadly nicked by Brummie fuckwits
Bike #5: Purple Raleigh Vixen with babyseat, granny basket and sometimes trailer.

No reason at all for this post, just felt like sharing/inflicting it.
