    Taga – my second go

    Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

    Had my second go on a Taga the other week. Long-term readers will recall that I was skeptical before I rode it and continued to be so when I rode it last year.

There is masses to do for all the family (lots of foodie and crafty stuff), and a massive fairground. Last year, there were a ton of bike people there, so it’s a great [...]
