This month was dubbed Rainbow month by Chatelle (AKA FatMumSlim) and she proprosed that we should all take photos of us in clothing that involved the colours. This wasn’t likely to happen with me, as I didn’t have much time to go clothes shopping, and whilst my clothing isn’t just plain dark colours, there are some colours I don’t have.
Instead I decided to set myself a separate theme for this month: The Bikes of London. I had seen so many colours on my walk to work that I thought it would be possible. The PaD Gods seemed to approve and gave me some delightful opportunities. So I hope you enjoy them. There are less words than normal as hopefully the pictures explain themselves (and I’ve had to build this post three times due to technical difficulties)

This is a bamboo framed bike, with resin covered string at the joints. Just an amazing find.

A “Ghost bike”, which sadly denotes that there was a fatal accident involving a cyclist on the road. These seem to be becoming less frequent now in London, thankfully.

Stalker shot of some natty bike shoes

Safety first!
There we go, I managed to stick with the theme of the Bikes of London throughout the whole month. I will admit to wanting to throw the towel in a couple of times, but I stuck with it due to some lovely support from other FMSPaD members.
Thanks for reading this, my lovely interonauts,
