A yellow bike in Hexham

Stage 5 of the Aviva Tour of Britain on September 10th runs from Prudhoe in the Tyne valley to the finish on Hartside Pass, the second highest A road in England. At many of the settlements along the way, yellow bikes have been installed by the roadside in anticipation of the occasion - over 20 each at Langwathby (see Image) and Melmerby (see Image). Haydon Bridge rises to fifteen (Image'>Image]) and even Riding Mill (Image) manages half a dozen; there the bikes are painted in red and yellow stripes - the colours of the Northumberland flag. But Hexham, one of the largest towns on the route can only manage four specimens to date - this one is sited on the Allendale Road out of town. But maybe some more will materialise before the big day. The Highford estate can be seen in the distance.
