At the recent Tweed Run, The Boy and I were having a light-hearted lament about the Princess Classic (my model of Pashley) not coming with a Propstand as standard. This came about as we were trying to prop-up Frankie with an impromptu stand (a heavy twig!) before heading off for the group photo – but with little success. Overhearing our discussion & watching us battle with the bike, a very kind Gentleman came over and offered to park my Pashley alongside his against a tree.
“We really must sort out a Kickstand for you”, he said looking at Frankie…
I didn’t think anything of this at 1st… and then after a little chat about it all he introduced himself to me: Adrian Williams, MD of Pashley Cycles! To say I was stunned would be a total understatement! It was a pleasure to meet Adrian, along with John who works with him at Pashley. This meant a lot to me – it almost goes without saying! Of course, it was also wonderful that they didn’t take our lamenting about the lack of Kickstand on the Classic as an insult, but as “something to consider”.
