Is Mr. Books Bike Bust?...

I've already had a similar picture made into a post card which I sell in Mr. Books and also give away as a business card but I may well have another printed with this image as it's even more festive than last years. I like the way the bike is half buried in the deep snow. Rather fortunate really since, when you see it without the snow, the poor thing has been kicked almost, but not quite, into submission by, I suspect, young lads on their way home from Mojos or more likely SOS night club. Don't they realise that it's an antique from a bygone age! It has served me well over the last five years or so but I fear the time may be approaching when I have to search the great God of retail, ebay, for a new one. Unless any bike shops out there want to offer their services for a reasonable price? I realised quite how bad it was looking when Simon, the owner of Cycle ops, came into my shop and ever so politely asked me if I would move it as it was not exactly the image he wanted associated with his up market bike shop which has some bikes on sale for over three grand. I'm not sure it would make any difference to his sales even being right outside his shop but, nevertheless, I respected his request and moved the Mr. Books bike to a new home near the Chequers Inn while I consider it's future!...
