Push bikes usually Les.

Not sure they'd be too happy about the motorised variety being used. Not exactly a challenge to ride a motorbike from London to Brighton anyway.

Pete, can you wear something distinctive so that we can line the route and throw stuff at you (e.g. brick, rocks, etc.)

Depends on the bike and how old really I reckon!

Well if he is going to be on a push bike, there will be a bit of huffing and puffing, going by the photo he put up. Almost worth getting the "Bonnie" out to chase him down the road.

I well remember that if you saw a "Mod" on his scooter you had to get the timing exactly right to give it a good kick as you went past so that he got a good wobble on all the way down the road!

Good one Pete, looks like I can't miss as I zoom past on my Bonneville. Should be able to outdrag your dog! You look a little younger than your photo somehow.

Looks like it. At my station this morning that is on the Brighton line they announced that bikes would not be permitted on trains on Sunday the 15th.

******* joke isn't it.
