24/06/2015 A ride by Lake Balaton with Iren on a bike lent by the hotel

Went out for an afternoon ride on a bike lent by the hotel, certainly a novel experience for me !

This bike has a 3 speed hub based gear system with a twist grip.

The front brake is conventionally controlled by the front brake lever, the rear by pressure using a back pedal technique !

We road down to the waterside then along the cycle path to the island of Tihany, after a brief break we rode back enjoying an ice cream on our way.

It’s a big fat well done to Iren for riding this far.
