Who'd have thought this site would generate so many cyclist questions
Anyhoo, Having given up the booze in February
I find myself a few stone lighter and am quite liking the mini me. I am currently living away and working around London and would like a bike suitable for commuting the few miles each day from my digs which gives me the benefit of not sitting in traffic and I get to do a bit of exercise each day.
People at work have been showing me their Gucci, Carbon Fibre, all terrain, 500 gear, lighter than a wafer, dogs dangly bikes. All I want is something suitable for someone 6ft 2", large build that won't look like I am giving birth to it and it has tyres wider than the crack in my arse (make up your own jokes).
So, what do you recommend? Road use only, comfortable, simple to use and something that doesn't require me to wear reflective Lycra underwear and preferably something that every thieving scumbag in London isn't trying to swipe each time I slow down.
