Yay! A bike is born!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored so far - it gave me a big rush and a huge smile every time an email popped up with 'someone has donated to your charity'. People are so generous!

In other good news - I have a 'new' bike for the trip. The Bike Station called yesterday to say they'd found me a replacement. It's another Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Op, this time a slightly newer version with v-brakes, an extra-low gear for very steep hills and...a slightly funny rattling noise when I cycle. It's pretty dirty at the moment and I think the bearings in the back wheel need a clean too, but with a little TLC I'm sure it'll do the job!
