Found this link after seeing one second-hand in France.

Strangely I seem to be drawn to it.

I'd ride a bike with Skoda on the side of it. I used to ride a bright orange MTB with Radion Biological Automatic Washing Powder on the side of it... so I'm not proud.

News to me, but looks a fine machine for the price,

Wonder who is making them for Skoda - Merida ?

£952 for a pushbike!

Wasn't that long back you could buy a brand new Skoda car for that price

Yeah, and they would not sell too many bikes if Skoda still had the reputation that it used too

Saw that, but have not been able to see prices or sellers anywhere except in Czech Republic wonga.

Well Im sticking with the old reputation and wont be buying one even if Chris Froome wins the next TDF on one

Would people buy Skoda bicycles? If they get the quality and price right (as they have done with their cars) they will sell.
Just look at Decathlon's Triban 3!
Anyone who wanted an entry point road bicycle and didn't consider the Triban was frankly (IMHO at least) either ill informed, or bonkers!

It's about pitching the right product at the right price (and getting a few extremely favourable reviews)

Hopefully they will be a lot better than the dreadful Land Rover BSO's

I got a well used Skoda Felicia 4 years ago from Ebay and apart from a couple of CV joint rubber boots it has been completely trouble free since. I wish my bike was as reliable. I would give a Skoda bike a punt.

Hopefully you would be able to make it go by pushing the pedals with your feet - rather than pushing it along with a big pole! ;-)

Skoda bikes eh? Do they have heated saddles for keeping your hands warm as you push it along after it breaks?

They haven't put a Skoda badge on it!
