Tips:search trade-me for second hand bicycles, or ask neighbours particularly those with well-stocked garages. Most people hold onto old bikes for sentimental reasons, and would be happy to hand it over knowing it is going to be done up lovingly.
safety first! check that brakes, wheel rims, chains and any gears are complete, free from rust and lubricated.
replace any essentials as necessary i.e. tyres
check out trade-me, garage sales or perhaps just around the house for boxes or baskets that can be attached for handy storage
I use my Triumph for…
Trips to the butchers at Redcliffs (to be discussed later in relation to what we eat, and where its from)
Taking the Charlie dog for run. It would be totally ridiculous for me to try and run alongside my big black lab.
Small trips around Sumner village i.e. to friends places, videoshop, the weekend market
Occasionally venturing out further in the Port Hills, but any trips much further then I borrow the road bike
