Wife’s Got A New Bike!
After falling off Lilac last year & breaking her arm , it’s taken quite a while for Wife to want to ride a bike again. First of all there was the weeks & weeks spent in a cast, then the physio, and then it was winter (remember the weather? Even I was reduced to cycling indoors!).
But even after the winter had gone, trying to ride Lilac again just wasn’t working for her. The handlebar position just couldn’t be got right for her re-set arm, the step-over was just a little too high, and there was also the issue of the bad memories.
So Lilac’s gone to a new home , and today while Daughter was at her Stage class, Wife & I headed into Newcastle to see what was available at Recyke Y’Bike .
And just LOOK at what we found!
Could this be the perfect bike for her? Low step-over, chain guard, mudguards, rack, prop-stand, hub gears, and a bracket for a front basket.
Wife’s yet to decide on a name, though "Miss Marple" has been mooted . . .
