Full chain guard and kickstand - so think Pashley for 21st century. No cycle clips needed! A great winter bike with Big Apple tyres. Made in Scotland from quality global bits. Finishing is done here including the attractive paintwork and integrated 'starship' rack.</p> <p>As a special forum offer - 24 hours plus drop off time at £10. Or suggest what you think would be fair and sustainable for a CEC commercial rate payer. We can't afford to pay people to cycle it though!</p> <p>In theory this is the kind of civilised 'non oily' bike we should be riding in a Northern European city. I guarantee that your commute will be calmer. You can be the judge though. <em>(Maybe we're wrong and everyone should be on Bromptons, Boardman or Hoy bikes?)</em></p> <p>Conditions.<br /> • No Strava riders!<br /> • Loss or damage will be charged<br /> • Can offer for sale - hire purchase over a couple of months. Enquire.</p> <p>If I had more I'd do my own city hire scheme - but they're not cheap! </p> <p>ALSO:<br /> Helios and Morpheus tandems for Sunday hire. Other LB bikes are a bit 'specialist' for general hire but welcome to enquire! </p>
