Best bike for a female 20s pharmacist

[Tin Pot]

That's not far from the truth. I did imagine to myself what it might be like to be a female pharmacist in her 20's and I imagined what bike I would like. Though they say if you walk a mile in someone else's shoes you'll be a mile away and you've got their shoes.

Luckily pharmacists tend to wear flats. You'd be crippled if you nicked a pair of platform heels.

SPDs?

I think I might keep the bike and give her the banjo

a Singer for cheap .... (£123 buy it now plus shipping) Fully restored, it will be worth a lot of money:

Too good to be true....?! Yep, the frame has at least one quite obvious crack. Very sad.

a good metal workshop would fix that .... a cracking bike and I would buy it if I was good at DIY ... you'd have to get it cleaned up, fixed, new tyres, painted or powder coated etc etc ....

I've seen similar Singer's in reasonable condition fetch 4 figures (it's not the Singer bikes from India.... these are highly sought after, especially in the USA)

Pharmaceuticals have an expiry date

I was not aware that threads did?

Look at the Pendletons at Halfords

Pendleton Somerby with a basket on it. Classic frame shape and very elegant overall effect with a well dressed lady at the helm. Very much a pootle bike for steady progress, not one for the hot & sweaty lycra clad riders always in a rush.

Wow, I wonder if the 20 year old female pharmacist is still riding, or even got a bike, or even cares.
