The Other Place

[j4]

Hello Cambridge!

All being well, we will be in Cambridge THIS SATURDAY ie 28th January. There are two purposes to the trip: 1) try out more bikes at The School Run Centre, and 2) say hello to as many people as possible in a short space of time.

We'll be getting there in time for lunch>, and I'm thinking it would make sense to go to The Carlton

The nearest car park to Hope Street, as far as I know, is on Gwydir Street, and it has quite a short time limit on it. There are side streets where you can sometimes park as well.

We should be able to make lunch at the Carlton on Saturday, I can cycle that far but not to Mill Road.

Hiya. I'd like to pop over!

If the cold has gone I shall come and see you all.

We will see you at the pub on Saturday. We can even bring a bakfiets for you to try :-)

YES PLEASE for moses basket. We will cart it home in aforementioned bakfiets.

Cool! I should warn you that the Moses basket has a big non-collapsible stand, so getting it home on the bike may be a bit of a squeeze (though we can drop it off in the car if necessary). Looking forward to seeing you & your bike :)

I saw an electric Bakfiets trundling around as I was leaving Cambridge yesterday. Dread to think how much that costs.

[j4]

Electric Bakfiets: Add £1100 to the price of a normal Bakfiets, apparently.

They're expensive, but they're effectively a replacement for a car, & they're not even the same order of magnitude cost as any car you could buy!

[claerwen]

Yes and if you let me know where to send some kind of private message such that you will see it, I will send you our address :)

You can email me at janetmck at gmail dot com (or DM me on Twitter, whichever's easiest :-) Thanks again! Hope we will be able to pop in & say hello too, rather than just stealing your parking space :-)
