Shopping not seating

Little Bike Look Out - Shopping not sitting

Spotted saddle-free, perhaps a security measure, but still looking cool with the recycled supermarket basket.      Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986. So when she spots a little bike, she takes a photo. Expect to see lots of snap shots of these miniaturized steel wonders. Your little bike? So lucky! Feel free to tweet this post....

Little Bike Look Out - Kingpin Filing

Ahhh dreams of a magical filing system where you place your files in a tray on the back of a little bike.  You cycle super fast and the paperwork flies out - firstly in to a large cloud of paper and then each sheet shoots in to its proper well. Sorted.  Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986. So when she spots a little bike, she takes a photo. Expect to...

Little Bike Look Out - Coffee Shopper

This is the Raleigh Shopper colour we remember most from growing up- true 70s style.  Dynamo rear light still intact, along with the white rimmed tyres and Sturmey Archer gears.  Looking to tackle some of Brighton's hills on 3 gears? Best to top up on a espresso or two.  Here's our favourite local coffee haunts: Small Batch, Mr Wolf, Flying Saucer.  Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact...

woody little bike look out Puch London

Little Bike Look Out - Puch Bike in London

Puch alert in Soho.  How gorgeous is this little compact bike? Notice how high the seat looks - level with the handlebars because the bike is so dinky.  We reckon that most elements are all original: front lamp, pedals, mud guards.  Perfect for nipping around the West End.  Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986.
