The Decorated Bikes Of Evesham

It seems that all Nigel’s beloved decorated Evesham bikes, part of the Vale Active Art Project, have now been gathered together……..

…….. and put on display in the empty H Samuel shop in the town’s shopping arcade.

Some he’d seen many times before on his travels……

…… while others were strangers to him, but it was lovely to see them finally all together.

Most of the bikes are now available to bid on as part of an online auction with the proceeds going to Evesham Adventure Playground ……..

….. an organisation very close to our hearts as Iris and Bertie have spent many happy days there in the past two years taking part in their Summer Play Scheme.

Unfortunately, although Nigel is absolutely desperate to put in a bid for the bike with the very generous sweetie box attached to the front, for very obvious reasons ……..

…….. The Towers is just too bijoux to keep one, but I’m sure we’ll be able to find another way of supporting the Adventure Playground in the very near future ……..

…….. as a small thank you, for all of this and last summers happy childhood memories.

Wonderful.

I hope that they are all in working order - it would be great to see the wheel with the lion's face rolling down the street. Or the flower-festooned one coming towards you.

What a super event that was - I enjoyed sharing in the parade of beautiful bikes. JantheFan x
