Advantages: Good prices, selection of bargain bikes Disadvantages: limited for the higher end cyclist
...Glass and Steele MotorCycles in Alloa has been around for decades. I only moved to Alloa around 5 years ago but knew of it before that.
A friend of my Dad's had a mate that worked there repairing old Jame's motorcycles in the 50's.
These days they dont repair motor bikes but actually sell pedal cycles, so the name may be a bit misleading.
THE SHOP
This cycle shop is a little out of date these days and perhaps suffers a little because it is situated off the beaten track in Alloa.
The shop itself is clean and well presented and when you walk by its pretty clear from the bikes in the window that its a cycle shop.

Maybe it would be safer to explain that blue circles normally represent things you MUST do, but on occasions are only giving permission.
Now for the reason behind those diagonals on selected red circular signs, or at least this is the reason we have been given.
Take “No Left Turn”, for example. Imagine being a colour-blind road-user, (which...

...…Children singing, all the blinkin’ time
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
Don’t give me lip, or crash into me!
It’s a bad time of year for motoring, can’t say I care for it much myself; there are a million and one more hazards (almost) when driving in winter conditions. What with drunks driving home from the Xmas office party, and wise men and shepherds migrating from one end of the country to the other to visit relatives and loved ones, and baby messiahs, all thinking more of what Christmas day will bring than what is on the road in front, the highways and byways are not a safe place to be.
Unless you are Santa Claus and have a sled pulled by reindeer, chances are you will be stuck in the Christmas traffic, so try to remain full of Christmas cheer, and try to maintain ‘goodwill...

There has been a series of killings in the subdued small town of Tarker Mills. Reports of a large wolf like creature prowling the town are greeted with a mixture of disbelief and fear. Yet as the killings become more and more violent it is clear that no more
