I don’t use mine much these days. I only get it out if I need to cycle into the village to solve a murder.

I've got a bobbin Brownie 7 - the one with 21 gears, I live somewhere very hilly and have upper back issues so need the upright cycling position!!!

I love her very much 😍 I lived in the Netherlands a while and could never go back to leaving forwards, still miss having back brakes.

Cycle to work scheme is worth it if you pay any tax at all and your employer runs it, presumably you are paid via the LEA?

They look cute but nowhere near enough gears. I like hills and speed.

I’m about to order a new bike and had settled on a pashley - but then I tried an electric bike and I’d love one. Can’t decide.

I have a Pendleton and it looks fab but I have been disappointed by it generally, I only use it for pootling about but it has had issues with squeakiness, gears, brakes, all sorts. Would love a Pashley. I can only ride sit up and beg bikes, I can’t bear low handlebars!

My daughter adores hers!

Cycle to work form says

Our calculations indicate that the value you are requesting is likely to take you below National Living / Minimum Wage. This means your employer would be likely to decline your request. We suggest you reduce the cost of your package until you find a value that your employer is likely to be able to approve (and no longer see this message).
