How much did you want to spend and for what purpose?

If it's just for road riding and cycle tracks, and unless you want to do some mountina biking, this is way better IMO for that price-

Absolutely!

 

[wee_lass]

yeh i looked at that one also in halfords, i always hate halfords tho coz its always seems to be boys who look around 12 that work their. so have not yet tried that one. It comes in 16" i think which wld maybe be ok.

Falcon....mmmm a barge pole comes to mind

 

[wee_lass]

bike is mainly for tow paths, trails etc. and preferably able to fit a front bike seat on to.

my bikeseat has a metal bar that attatches to the seatpost, and over to the handle bars, then it secures to that.

He said he thought those seats were outlawed in the UK now??

 

[wee_lass]

 

[wee_lass]

something similar to that

 

[wee_lass]

yeh i prefer it actually to the rear seat, coz if the kid is behinde u, then u can't see them, and can't really talk to them either,

this way he can see where he is going, i can see him, and i can talk to him along the way.

just thought with him sayin they were outlawed mayby the rear seats are safer in some way? i have a rear seat also.

 

[wee_lass]

ok thanx.

 

[Noodley]

...just thought with him sayin they were outlawed.

I'd run away from the LBS. Sounds as if he is strong on the BS but not in the sense you mean...

 

[wee_lass]

ah thats why i am glad i have u guys for extra advice.

must try to brave Halfords some day and ask one of those 12 yr olds to get a bike out for me to try.


P.S no offence meant to anyone who may work in halfords

 

[wee_lass]

i have another bike shop not too far from me, so will have a wee look, and see wot they have to offer me, then back to halfords to try out the Carrera Subway.

 

[marinyork]

I don't think anyone here will take much offence at stuff said about halfords . Get a spin out Halfords.

i'd imagine the comment was because you would not be able to use the front seat with the open frame

"...He said he thought those seats were outlawed..." would not imply he was speaking about anything to do with the frame.
