ROAD TRIP

This photo was taken during my recent visit to Turlough Park House in The Country Life National Museum of Ireland in Castlebar, Co Mayo.

Mary and Jean Devaney recall the time when they took their turkey hen on a “road trip” on a bicycle to meet with a potential mate.

One of many ‘bicycle’ stories on display from times gone by.

Ah…the old black bicycle. The one in this photo is hanging on the ceiling of our local pub. An Sean Sibin in Ballina.

I remember my uncle having a bicycle exactly like this one; all through the 70’s. He would have cycled for miles on it. It didn’t have gears, so when he came to a steep hill, he had to hop off and walk up it. It had big springs under the saddle and a big round headlamp positioned at the centre of the handlebars. I’m pretty sure he had a bell on it too.

The black bicycle in Lucy’s drawing belongs to Flossie Lynch, the main character in my novel.
