Bought my first bike from them. A summit 10speed! I remember the old chap there yelling me stories about following the tdf on his bike. Also told me about a guy who choked on bubble gum while riding his bike. To this day I dont chew gum when riding!

My memories of Basil Cohen and Deale & Huth go back to Main street to the shop where the Carlton Hotel was, before they moved a block down Main street when the old shop was demolished to make way for the Carlton Centre. The Shop on DF Malan was a later branch managed by Harry Bloomfield.

The first moon landing 45 years ago today? 20 July 1969. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11 I was 6 years old at the time, and I remember all the young boys were playing with Apollo 11 lunar modules at the time, making lunar landscapes on the back-yard.

 

I was a year or two older and remember listening with my old man to Voice of America on the short wave radio, with the sound coming and going and lots of hissing. The National Geographic issue on the moon landing was a favourite.

 

Fast forward 33 years and my dad and two years ago my dad and I watched Felix Baumgartner parachute from space in live full colour television.

Pop shop on TV. Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars. The presenter who's name escapes me now always ended his show like that.
