Commuting is of no good. I need the car for work, dropping kids off before and after work in farnworth, i will check out them cheaper bikes, i'd dismissed them as i thought they were too cheap! i am already getting the feck it attitude what other people think, lol Cheers for the words of wisdom mate.
Thank you, i will steer clear.

Completely forgot about freecycle, i will have a look. Not sure there is anyone close enough to where i live to meet with. Cheers for your help though.

That may be my only way.

i won't, No my kids are 11 months old and 4 yrs old. Thanks.
