Cool bike

Nice bike. I used to love cycling when I was younger and had. 6 ft 5 rugby playing boyfriend to enjoy trips out into the country with.
 
Is that a Viva Juliett? Nice whatever it is. I'd like a new bike but would want one with electric motor on as it is far too hilly round us to rely on my aged knees.
 
All I can say is ... please don't use those contraptions on roads with speed limits over thirty miles an hour ... stay in town!

Never do more than 2 miles an hour.
And that is only with someone pushing!
 
Electric bikes are the way to go from aged 14 no license no insurance no M.O.T .....

No way wear a skirt, thick wooly thermals under trousers. Legs get freezing even in summer.

I just got myself one of these from Belgium. I couldn't afford a Koga World Traveller from the Netherlands but this will do for most european routes and I don't like the sound of crossing the Gobi desert.
