Wondering what to do with your evening?

Wondering what to do with your evening? Well, why not sit back with a glass of beer and watch this short film on cycling in the Netherlands in the 1950s. Really life couldn't get much better . . .



And when you've watched that here's a classic from the British cycling scene in 1955.



And just one more, I promise . . .

Thanks to the Marshall Plan if I am correctly interpreting the final few seconds of that video. Not to mention the Canadian and other Allied soldiers who freed Holland from Nazi occupation just 10 years earlier. . .

I take note of the fact that there were very few, if any, seriously overweight people to be seen amongst the hundreds of people filmed in that 5 minute clip. I will none-the-less make a point of having the beer that you suggested since I haven't had one in a week or two. ;-) In fact I think that I will treat myself to a 500 ml can of Grolsch which is one of the best mass produced beers in the world, and available here in Québec aka La Belle Province for about $2.00 per can.

I have not yet got my bike on the road yet thanks to the rather foul weather we have been having for much of our spring and now, summer. I will probably be using it next week though. Might even attach the trailer I bought for it and go on a little road trip.
Still can't see where they managed to hide the orchestra...
