Will you be taking them to Taiwan? Where in the Philippines do you live? I spent two years in Manilla during my late teens in the 1960s. I would love you to email me at dpatterson at actrix dot co dot nz (replace at and dot with the appropriate symbols). I look forward to hearing from you.<br />Desiree Desiree Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738912702576724017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540898492889262908.post-69380907346472015712015-05-16T01:40:58.108+12:002015-05-16T01:40:58.108+12:00Hi Dizzy,

I haven't ridden a bike in anger for many a year although I used to race at a minor competitive level in the UK. That however seems like a lifetime ago. I now live in the Philippines and my wife and I have had 19 happy years together, she is 5 years younger than me and on her birthday this year, February 22nd. I decided it was about time she experienced the joys of riding a bike. I bought her the bike and taught her how to ride and she is hooked, she now gets up as soon as it is light at the weekend and drags me out of bed to go riding, aaagggghhhh I created a monster !!!! really i am enjoying it tremendously. So at the age of 59 we have got a new lease on life and after seeing your blog we went out and bought 2 Giant Expressways. We picked them up tonight and we can't wait to ride them in the morning. We have already decided we will do a mini tour of Taiwan later in the year and we are like two teenagers planning and plotting our adventure.<br /><br />So in closing i would just like to say thank you to yourself and John for inspiring us and maybe in the near future we will be in New Zealand experiencing the roads you call home.<br /><br />Thank You<br /><br />Dale & LitzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540898492889262908.post-68576470017311624552014-06-29T22:32:41.584+12:002014-06-29T22:32:41.584+12:00Hello Runstedt, since we run Kenda 912 20x1.75 tyr...Hello Runstedt, since we run Kenda 912 20x1.75 tyres here your choice of a 1.5 inch tyre should be fine.

I ride to work with my Expressway 2 and I am thinking of replacing them with Schwalbe Marathons 20X1.5s. Rundstedt B.

Does your sister know that there are two mosaic "couches" in kapiti/ They don't have a couch in their heart though! One is between the Paraparaumu library and Council buildings which are behind Coastlands mall, parallel to SH1. <br />The other is in the process of completion, despite some low lives destroying a part of it. This one is at Raumati South on a lawn at the end of Poplar Ave which is first right off SH1 after Mackays Crossing.<br />Happy New Year<br />DeborahDeborahnoreply@blogger.com
