Country lanes

There is very little that £100 bikes are good for. :-)


To a cyclist maybe, but joe or jane public?


If you inspect the sheds and cellars in your average suburban street, you
will find several dozen sub-£100 bikes which have been bought, ridden
once, put in the shed/cellar, and never taken out again. Why aren't they
taken out? Because they're no fun to ride. A bike which isn't fun is
pointless and a waste of money, because it won't get used.
