bikes are for people that like exercise

a car eliminates the need for this strange behaviour

Because spending £1600 on a push bike is crazy. Dunno what I was thinking. Spesh when I could of bought a mint GSi or somthing

If u want a bike, best spending £150-£200 on one.

I just bought a Kona Dawg Deluxe. £1500 well spent imo.
Going to get used plenty, keeps me fit and I doesnt have the associated running costs of a car.
