Here are some pics of the new bargain bike. £25 ($50) well spent I think



Son (Ian) with bike. Ian is a renal dialysis patient, hence he's very undersized for his age (20) and we're hoping he'll get a transplant this year. My brother has offered him a kidney so is coming down next month from Scotland for tissue testing. If he is a suitable match, the op itself will be scheduled for the summer. Ian has a mountain bike but finds it very heavy and too much for him at the moment. He likes the Raleigh because it is a lot lighter and he enjoyed our trip out today. His consultant says he should try and exercise as much as possible as this should give him a better appetite. Like many kidney patients, my son's appetite is poor. That should change when he gets a transplant though. Hopefully he'll stay fit enough to enjoy daily cycle runs.
