It’s lovely and pretty with all those flowers adorning the spokes

Of course it is. Sorry, I forgot to put a smiley at the end so here's one just for your benefit .

That’s a pretty poor attempt at a backtrack...step away from the spade

What a load of bollox

Was at a party the other month and mentioned I had a Whyte and the response was... 'Wow! Those are cracking bikes, which model do you have?'

Yep I've had a couple, definitely recommended for anyone wanting a fast flat bar bike

I originally budgeted £500 for a commuter bike but when I started looking it was clear to me, if you want a quality bike to cover lots of miles, its worth spending that extra £. I have three possible routes to take each day, min 21 mile and max 25 mile round trip.
