A trip to Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle yesterday. We’ve previously visited Fremantle but never gone to Fishing Boat Harbour. The area is a combination of fishing boats, recreational boating and tourism. The area was steadily going into decline until the America’s Cup yacht races were conducted off the coast of Fremantle in 1986-87. This bought significant investment into the area and major rejuvenation.
We wandered around the various eating establishments looking at menus and prices. Obviously we don’t eat out much as the prices seemed extremely high.
As you would expect the eating outlets all specialised in fish. Jan eventually decided on a small restaurant selling fish and chips at a seniors concession rate.
The main reason for the visit wasn’t to eat, rather to look at bikes. Jan rather likes the idea of an e-trike for local transport. When I’ve taken the 4WD on a trip she has no means of transport and an e-trike would give her some exercise, whilst also having the backup option to get home if worn out.
The Ryder E-Bike shop is located in the former Bathers Beach House at Fishing Boat Harbour
An interesting selection of fancy looking “easy-rider” trikes for Jan to to look at but she eventually decided on a more conventional style. I was prepared to assemble the trike however the shop assistant informed Jan they would do it at no additional cost.
On the way back to the Isuzu we noticed this lost dog.

Can't see any photos Tom on your last few blogs.
Thank you for the advice Carol.
I can see the photos on the blog so it has to be Google (AGAIN)
I have a friend with an E trike, I tried riding it and it takes some getting use to, motor is in the front wheel and peddles drive the rear wheels
I'm not too concerned Brian...... Jan might be though!!! :-)
Be interested how Jan gets on with it.
E bikes are certainly popular, it will be interesting to see what Jan ends up with.
No problems at all with seeing your photos at this end.
PS. Meant to add, we have been looking through photos from our Indian Pacific trip, Robin can very cleverly cast them to the TV, lucky he knows how to do it, because I certainly dont. And sure enough, there was a photo of the two of you at home, when we visited. So "hello" again!
