Hey Andrew,
We definitely have D bars out the front!! On the corner with Shafto Lane. I
know because when I saw the draft plans for the "beautification" of our end
of Hay St I noticed there were no D bars. So I rang the council and said "4
outdoor shops and no D bars???!!" and they added them in later!

Anyway, I'm assuming that your bike is incrdeibly expensive, in which case
you can bring inside the shop!!! Particularly with all this rain!

The sporks cost $1, if you want a free spork just ask! And Silconised Nylon
is surprisingly tough. Just had a customer tell me that her MD Silnylon tent
(positron) has done 3 Cape to Cape's and several weeks on the BT and a
Cradle Mountain!! (Happy customer, have to have her stuffed and mounted!!)

What article did I write?
