  1. The Tchibo shop in Surrey Quays shopping centre has a city style bike
    for sale for £120.
    I though it worth posting to the list as the topic comes up from time to
    time.
    Aluminium frame, with a front basket and strong rear rack. Kickstand.
    The most interesting feature is a rear seven-speed SRAM hub gear
    (ie. like an old Sturmey Archer but seven speeds).
    Front hub is a Shimano dynahub (generates current for the front and rear
    lights), so the bike always has lighting.
    The drawback from what I saw was rear suspension. The bike is not
    lightweight, but who cares for a city cruiser/shopping bike?

    For the more weight concious, there are unicycles still in the shop for
    £45. But where do you put your bags of onions and french bread then?

    Anyone who has to lug a bike up & down stairs (or on & off
    trains) ought to care about weight...

    Caught like a treen in a disabled spaceship.
    The bike is made of depleted uranium, or feels like it.

    And then there was light and He thought it was good, so He threw the
    receipt away.
