It is a cost effective solution to spending almost £100 on public transport a month to get to work and it's making my body healthier. However bikes like this mean that 'normal' bike manufacturers think it's ok to charge £250+ for a basic bike. It took MONTHS to find something that wasn't made entirely of rusty tin to ride to work on, and what I bought has had to have around £80 spent on it in repairs in the last few months, not to mention the 7 punctures I've had to fix.

If people want us to stop using cars and public transport they should stop encouraging ridiculous things like stupid ugly Fendi bikes and baskets and build proper safe non-pot hole filled cycle lanes while they're at it. And get cab drivers and bus drivers to not drive insanely and shout at me.
