Thanks Hackney

Dear Hackney,   I would like to thank you for not letting me down.  You see,  everytime I tell people that I am from Hackney,  there is a slight gasp and shudder as they contemplate how on earth I have managed to survive living in such an infamous area.

Oh No, This Again..

I'm not really sure why but when I first bought a bike about six years ago, it seemed like a big deal to my family and relatives.
