Usually, my bike rides are just me and usually that is the way I like it. Not today though. Today I had a friend to keep me company. All the way from the shed, for 15 miles around the local villages and back again Mr Spider sat on my handlebars and admired the view. Well, actually, he cowered in the only gap he could find but then it was cold first thing. I’d like to be able to tell you that between us we found the solution to world peace or some equally impressive cause, but to be honest, conversations were a little one sided and mainly consisted of ‘You ok Mr Spider?…Good’.
