Move on

I asked the Green Bike Trust guy Peter if I could come and help him out for a couple days a week and he seems to be happy for an extra hand esp for admin stuff. He is my favourite type of people, quiet, work with their hands, simple. His work is to recycle people's used bikes and put the bits that work fine onto others' bikes. He also hires out good quality bikes for students etc.

I first met Peter when he came and knocked on our door about our couchsurfer Theo's rental bike. Turned out it was a mistake of the due date but that was the time when I thought, I want to see what this guy does in his bike workshop. He looked like a guy who's not going to say much, but everything he says will be good and honest.

Then I came to get a new tyre for my old friend the Yukon bike, and enjoyed watching him working a lot. At that time he had a school boy coming to help every day. Not anymore because he's gone to UCOL. So I took my chance and asked if he would like to take me in!

He is such an interesting man, I think I will enjoy working with him.
