Womens upright bicycle needed - loan or buy

Recommended Posts

Hello,


I would like to either loan or buy an upright bicycle - i.e dutch, dawes, raleigh etc.


I had an operation on my spine in January and love to cycle but am currently unable on the type of bike I ride - I have a single speed with drop handlebars. My surgeon has said I can ride now but only on a girly upright bike so my back isn't bent over.


If anyone has one they are willing to loan me until May/June time that would be excellent - I can service and keep it in good nick and if anything happens to the bike we can agree beforehand how much I'd owe in the event of an accident.


Orrr if anyone wants to sell outright I can afford ?75 Ono.


Please get in touch. Many thanks,


Verity.

Verity - I am just about to advertise my 16" Trek Navigator, and was looking to see if there was anything similar in EDF. It's 3 years old, and would suit someone 5ft to 5ft.4" tall. The "butterfly" handlebars are quite far forward because I've never liked bending forward, and could probably be brought forward a bit more. It's in very good condition, and has served me very well around London's roads and streets. The gears and brakes work very well. The tyres would probably need to be replaced before next December (frost/icy conditions demand good treads, and we haven't had much this year). It comes with an excellent bike stand - which means that you can park and lock it without using a lamp post or bike stand. Let me know if you would like to come round to have a look before I put it on the Forum this Friday/Saturday.

    • Yes, I think that’s exactly it. I’m sorry my post was unclear. 
    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.
