Cyclin' t'olden days

[legrandefromage]

I were on 'oliday with northerners from Barnsley and it reminded me o ert oldern daays

Helmet were cloth cap to be doffed at Mrs Bickersdike ont way butchers for 'usbands tea.

Cycle lanes were A1 on Sunday mornin wi lads goin dales.

Suspension were puncture

Dropper posts were someone nicked seat bolt

Isotonic drinks and special food were pub stop (has anything changed there?)

Anyone else fer stereotyping?

Re:

By hell. That looks like hopper pass on blubberhouses . About fifteen or so miles from Harrogate.( probably late summer )If it is the pub at the bottom used to have a wooden shed at the side that we used as a tea stop. kept the smell of linament away from the more delicate customers.Its the cliff/rock at the top that makes me think it is. If so I have ridden that in snow not too far away from what is on there. Also the tdf went up it. What a fantastic photo.
