Bicycles are a staple piece in the fitness world, they can be the line between you and the gym, some may say you that if you cycle every day then you don't need to go the gym... Some may say otherwise... *Sighs at the oh so serious fitness people who cycle to the gym AND BACK*!!!
If you need an excuse to avoid the gym then getting a bike is definitely the answer and luckily for you I have done some bike research... it turns out that you can spend absolutely anything you want on a bike. Prices range from the absolutely ridiculous to £0:
Here is how to low budget bike shop:
- Freecycle - A website that you need to keep a close eye on if you want a freebie, type in your area and search for bikes, you can even put up a wanted advert asking if anybody has a bike that they no longer use.
- eBay - The mother of all bargains. I've watched plenty of bikes sell for under a £5'er on here before.
- Gumtree - People are constantly putting their used bicycles up on Gumtree - Never ever buy a bike off Gumtree without seeing it first, they have very little buyer protection unless you go through Paypal of course; but other than that grab a cheapo here.
- Going Going Bike - Pick the style of bike you want and scroll through the masses of relatively cheap, used bikes, maybe one will tickle your fancy.
What about you lot who like to splash out, well, take a look at this beauty:
Bikes like this retail for around £600, this very bicycle is from a website called Beg Bicycles which specialises in Bespoke Bikes. If you are a bespoke kinda gal then why the hell wouldn't you... on the other hand if you want a bespoke lifestyle with a budget wage then I have a solution...
^ There you have it ladies (& gentlemen) the Government are finally giving us a hand. With this scheme you can choose a tax free bike at a discount price which will be deducted monthly from your annual salary. Visit the website for more info' on payments and bikes.
Have a nosey and maybe you'll find yourself a new friend.
