Although saw a beautiful FELT on the net last night ?500, sounds cheap to me.

I'd never heard of Felt bikes so I had to look it up, I'm now a little wiser

My current bike cost me ?125, the one before that ?99 IIRC. I was in Halfords yesterday and while waiting was looking at the bikes...?199.... ?300.... ?500  eeek: , ?799  eeek:  eeek: , ?1100  eeek:  eeek:  eeek: , ?1599  eeek:  eeek:  eeek:  eeek: . I could never justify that outlay for a bike, who can, and what do they get for the extra ???'s

I'd expect an engine attached.

SWWLTBO has never actually learned to ride a bike so feeling in need of exercise (what is it with middle aged wimmin?) she decided she should get a second hand machine and accompany the boys when they go out on theirs.
For fairly obvious and previously stated reasons I can no longer ride a cycle so I was looking at an electric scooter which I now have.
Anywhoooo SWWLTBO really could not get on with this bicycling malarkey. She fell off a number of times and was, frankly, a danger to herself and other road users so in a moment of inspiration I bought her an adult tricycle. What a revelation! She speeds round the lanes leaving all in her wake. Brilliant machine. 6 gears parking brakes and a very comfortable saddle (another of her complaints about "ordinary" bikes.)
Bloody good investment at ?400.
