    Hi mate, all that chat of mountain bikes etc etc and the fact that the
    physio says a bike would be excellent in helping my leg heal as fully as
    possible has led me to the inexorable conclusion that i need to get a
    bike.

    I was just wondering what you had got and where from as i remember you
    saying it was an inexpensive one, thats all i need.

    No but you do have a Yellow Pages which may well give you a much needed
    clue.

    Nope i dont, i use 'tinternet when looking for stuff rather that a big
    yellow book. so logically the store locator for the big w's would have been
    the place to go, however, it was bringing up an error page. So, logically
    yell.co.uk should have provided the answer, however, no luck there either.

    They are not cheap if you spend 20 quid on petrol getting there and
    back.

    Bike shops won't carry anything as cheap as he's looking for. Normal
    bottom of the range in a bike shop will be around 250 quid.

    250 quid? For a bloody push bike?

    Oi DP. As much as I hate to say this: join a gym, it will be cheaper.

    Bear didn't take the free one from here. If you want it, drive the Volvo
    over and collect it.

    Mountain bike. Scruffy. Some gears. Saddle (somewhere). Red. Free.

    Already done, works one is only £6 a month.
    Thing is, I don't mind going, i just dont get the time, plus, part of the
    reason for a bike is that the kids are learning ot ride a bike at the mo so
    come summer, we can all go out. That way, I get them to cycle, and it helps
    me get fit(ter).
