Story of a Carrera Vengeance Restoration 3

Bike Restoration 單車修復

Despite I’ve been living in the UK for a few years now and have adapted to most aspects of daily life, as someone who spent decades in Hong Kong, the winter temperatures here still feel quite daunting. Because of this, my outdoor cycling trips have significantly decreased over the past few years. That said, my passion for bikes remains strong – just shifted from riding to repairing and modifying them. My first actual attempt was probably a couple of years ago when I helped fix my son’s classmate’s bike.

雖然在英國住了幾年,衣食住行各方面大都適應了不少,但對於生活在香港幾十年的我,英國冬天那種溫度還是有點嚇人,所以過去幾年走到戶外踩單車的次數亦顯著減少了。話雖如此,我對單車仍有一番熱誠,只不過已由踩變作維修及改裝單車,而第一次全力投入的應該是前年幫兒子同學維修單車。

North Wales Visit – Part 2 北威爾斯之旅 – 下集

While planning the trip, I did check out those typical “Top Places to Visit in North Wales” articles online. Unsurprisingly, many of them featured castles and coastal towns as must-see spots.

The first half of our trip focused more on cities, driving along the A55, passing the northern coastline and across the Menai Strait to Anglesey. For the second half, we planned to slow down a bit, explore quieter villages, and do more walking whenever possible.

在編排行程時,有參考過網上那些甚麼 “Top Place To Visit in North Wales …” 的文章,其中有很多相似的就是多以 Castles 及沿海小鎮作景點。

行程上半部以城市為主,亦有沿 A55 走過北邊海岸及 Menai Strait 對岸的 Anglesey,而下半部則會集中到較寜靜的小村落,走多一點路。
