This is how we roll in PP

We now have wheels!
They are quite small, and require human locomotion but we are no longer just pedestrians in the city.

May went off and found a black Bridgestone "Fighter" on bike street (yes its not really called bike street but with the habit of placing most like stores all together in the same street lends itself to names like this. Teddy bear street is cool as is fake Peavey Amp street)

So we went for our first ride last night, it wasn’t a grand ride just a wander down to the local market at Psas Chas (this is the old market and it is an assault on the sense if you aren't used to it).
May stood on the carrier at the back and we wove our way through cars, bikes, cyclos, motos and dogs down to the fruit and vege area.
Its monsoon time at the mo so it was spitting and dark and every so often a great big 4x4 drove past with the disdain that only a cpl of tonnes of steel can do to a drivers psyche.

I parked up, next to all the other Khmer guys on motos and waited for May to finish shopping, it really was a surreal scene as i played with the new bell, tested the brakes and generally did the guy thing of "kicking the tyres" while being watched by slightly incredulous Khmer guys.
We filled the basket at the front (YES it has a black basket at the front thank you very much) and May hopped on and to much cat calls and hoots we proceeded to wind our way through the potholes back home.

Well we couldn’t go straight home, it was our first drive so we went along the riverside for a bit which was interesting for about a min then home, inside the entrance we parked the bike, locked it with two locks and that was that.

The landlady was making Lok Lak and that inspired May to do the same.

A yummy meal of beef sliced thinly cooked in a very peppery gravy which is then spooned onto a layered mix of lettuce leaves, thin sliced tomato/cucumber and onion.
You lift out a leaf from the bottom, place a mix of rice, meat and veges on it, drop a small amount of the chilli/pepper sauce on it then fold and eat....... so delicious.
I forgot my camera so the pics were from my cell phone, i apologize for the quality.
