Anyone got one of these bikes?

I've had yet another bike pinched, so I decided to buy something cheap this time as i'm getting fed up with the amount of money i'm spending on them, so nipped over to decathlon and picked me up the 5.2 that's reduced to £239.99 at mo, bargin I thought, cant see it being much good tho at that price but just need something to get me round work, anyway the nice man set it up for me and I rode the 5 mile back home and have been out on it again this morning and have to say I was very impressed, if it was someone elses bike I was having a go on I would have never thought it was so cheap

Highly recommended for anyone after a reasonable priced bike

that's it, just my sunday morning information board

Another bike pinched?? Oh dear!

I guess moving to another area is not an option.

Not sure which model that is but there are a few rockriders that offer fantastic value.

Out of interest what lock are you using? Get a Kryptonite Fagettaboudit - not cheap but far and away the best lock on the market.

Have you considered a folding bike like a Brompton?

This way, you can take it inside with you rather than to leave it chained up outside.

You can get a decent size pannier in the front.

Every single pushbike that I have ever owned has been stolen, no matter how expensive the lock

I won't be buying another

Do you leave your bike out front or round the back? I'd take my bike inside if I paid a lot of money for it

unfortunately your not allowed to just decide to take your bike into someone else's house

some people I go to allow me to but not everyone wants a wet and dirty bike inside their house so you have to leave it outside

Just looked, I didn't realise it was a BTWIN bike you were talking about.

This time of year is the best time to be buying - all the shops are trying to offload their stock to make space for the 2014 models

Buy one of those covers people buy for their car. Wrap the bike up. Job done

It might also be worth investing in a motion sensor voice activated machine that says "Step away from the bike and jog on"
