"Start 'em young," my parents would say. After a trike and a bike, both with solid rubber wheels, this bike with pneumatic tyres was a major step up.
Spot the 'I've got a tiger in my tank' sticker? Came with a furry tail. Who remembers this 60s advertising campaign from Esso? Too young!

This is in fact the third position for this statue, the fourth and current being RAMM.

Whilst on the subject (sort of) of Trews Weir, #Exeter, some 📷 I snapped Sep 2022. It had been a long hot/dry summer and the River Exe was running lower than I'd ever seen before. To some extent due to St James Weir having failed on the lower reaches. People were strolling around the river bed.
