Purveyor of fine nonsense
I am after a bike to take into town when I need to go shopping for little things, etc.
It needs to be a bike that I don't mind leaving chained up to a lamp post.
I have a Giant FCR C hybrid - but I would never ever leave a full-carbon £1K bike chained to anything!!
I would never ever get a BSO - I regard them as being an abomination against man, God and all things cycling related. Also, they are prime targets for thieving chavs.
So ... I am thinking of getting one of these: http://www.createbikes.com/?gclid=CKLV38fPxp4CFUYA4wodvXWWqg
Fixed gear, so easy to maintain, fewer things to go wrong. Cheap too. Will be nimble around town.
I'll just need to learn how to ride one!
But - do you suppose one of those would be more or less of a chav-magnet than a BSO?
