Now that does sound sensible.I would like a new bike, but it doesn't seem a good time to buy , I'm considering selling my brompton to fund a new audax frame.

Hmm, dont know you could do an awful lot with them;Maybe you can get @SkipdiverJohn to give you his cast offs?
I cried all the way home Saturday week, saw a cracker of a bike in a trailer heading for theStill seeing very lightly used 2 - 3 year old machines for sale and this week i picked up a 2 yr old Voodoo Limba that had only been ridden once in that time for less than 5 miles !!
The increase in sale of lazE-bikes is because 1) people are frikin lazy and 2) they don't give a crap about the damage they are doing to the planet.
Exactly. I think a lot of people are buying ebikes for their commute. An ebike is not a ‘zero harm’ option but clearly a dramatic improvement over a car for both fitness and environmental benefit.I agree.... I think i'll give up using my ebike for longer distances and hauling shopping home, and just go back to using my car.

Yup, not to mention those that have a disability or health issues.
How dare they use something that enables them to carry on cycling.
No, saying you got an amazing product that just kept on going,as opposed to the throw away products of today that are designed
to fail or become too expensive to fix, necessitating another purchase.
Plus of course a Yorkshireman is like an Aberdonian with the generosity squeezed out . People can't see any reason to splash out so hold onto their cash and bike.
It's true I see a lot of ads for newish bikes which have hardly been used. Dont know if this a trend.
I would rather people try cycling and find it is not for them, rather than not trying it at all.
Well, pretty soon, I suspect, the average punter who needs a bike* will have to do what me and @SkipdiverJohn do, get something old and renovate it. SDJ maybe doesn't need to do this, but I do....
