I'd forgotten about that! Very stylish indeed that was :-bd . I must tag along in your wake (*) sometime, I appreciate seeing connoisseurs at work :smile: .

(*) nooo-o-o, not that sort of wake :wink: .. hopefully things never get that skitterish....
Lol :lol: Reg I am honoured that you wish so, reckon I know the wake you mean X_X b-)
Maybe you could join me on a rerun of that famous pitch, the Festie once again coincides with WRT, only a connoisseur would chav a free pitch with security onsite \M/

WRT.. will bear, sorry, "Bear", in mind. Also I gather you're a Worcester man. Thinking of a couple of japes over there this year.. poss a sort of "cider trail" perhaps, although that could be "dangerous" :smile: . See what pans out.

Following on from my 1 minute trailer film earlier in this thread, I thought I'd best put a link up to the 6 minute version.

I'm not sure who this is, but I'd be interested in finding out what these overshoes are...? They look like they're over flat pedal shoes, if so, I could really do with a pair...

Blimey - That's me! Two video appearances and I'm wearing something vaguely useful as well. I'm so giddy with excitement I'll have to go and have a lie-down :lol: .

Anyway: back to usefulness. They're Halford's "Ridge" neoprene overshoes, £13. I think Shaf bought some a few weeks ago, too.
They're similar to the On One ones, but with an ineffective velcro attachment underneath. I was wearing them over walking shoes and they're fairly weatherproof. They don't ping off the toes when pedalling, but can do when walking.

Not puppy-proof, but cheap enough to be disposable :roll:.

With the pins in the flat pedals, they're going to have to be treated as disposable... 🤣
