I borrowed this bike from a cousin for my week in Scotland in September. I didn't actually
'hire' it, but I treated him to a £19 20 cL bottle of Oban whisky afterwards to show my appreciation, so we could call that the
'hire charge'!
In case you are wondering - that is a bungee cord wrapped round the top tube. I always carry one when taking a bike on public transport after experience of missing/broken securing straps in train bicycle storage areas.
