I bought a cheapy £200 bike from Halfords back in May. I started cycling again for the first time in seventeen years and was unsure about how much I would enjoy it and also how much I would actually use it. I started off by promising my boyfriend that I'd only go around the park and the quieter streets of where I live. Quiet streets in central London! Ha! That soon turned into cycling to work a couple of times a week and now I'd love to do London to Brighton/Paris and perhaps the Coast to Coast I'm not sure that I'd buy a different style of bike from the one that I already have as I love it, but never say never. My uncle is desperate to get me into mountain biking and going out with him but it's not really worth moving back to Scotland just for that
