Susie and Max flew to Dubai last night so this is my first day off with Darcy, so I took her into Nursery and then went and read the paper in the local coffeeshop. I could get used to this babysitting lark!
Aftab, picked me up at 12 and I went and picked up Darcy from Nursery. In the afternoon, we went over to the bike shop in Ghatkopar and I finally took the plunge a bought myself a traditional black bike. The standard bike comes with metal rod operated brakes, extra frame across the top, flat bars and single speed. Weighs about as much as a small motorbike. Rs 2600 (about £33) before I started to load it with extras. I say 'I' but it was a combination of the parts I wanted and those that Aftab thought that Darcy would like! So, I added a rear chrome rack, chrome front fork brace, small extra seat on the crossbar and sturdy centre stand. Aftab added pink candy stripe brake lever covers, some weird spiky pink handbar ends and red springy covers for the front fork brace. An Englishman riding a very Indian bike certainly turns heads, especially with Darcy sat on the crossbar, the pink attachments arn't quite what I had in mind, even less so when I ride it on my own!
