Probably would but could someone explain in Lincs terms what "post

Pass. But I had a vision of a skeletal crumbly in a long brown

macintosh
(endemic to Lincs, and unknown elsewhere) and sporting a glittering

drip
under his nose, pedalling a vast old bike slower than walking pace.

On that description, it is the locally known "dewdrop". And yes we have
plenty of old crumbly`s in the dirty man mac.

It`s a mystery to me how they manage to keep upright on the bikes.


Have you ever seen gravity defying Dutch cyclists?


How does gravity achieve that feat?
