Bikes and Pylons

[bikeworkshop]

Felt like I was doing a tour of north Somersets biggest pylons yesterday

2nd picture got a distinctive cold war bunker-bungalow look - where's it to?

First pic was near Kenn, theres loads of them cutting across north Somerset - I think they're part of Hinkley point's infrastructure

Second pic was out the back of Clevedon & is part of a big transmitter tower from the 40s (I think) there's actually two massive masts just to the left but I couldn't stop anywhere to get them in view. I'll try harder next time for all the pylon fans

Retrobikers won't throw their banana skins over that fence.

They are getting everywhere.
It's up to us  Retrobikers to save humanity.
By leaning our bikes against them

Although I thought this was an icon of my childhood, it turns out they replaced the original in 1986.

Reminds me the movie 'Fall'.
