Very welcome. Drop a pm to arrange if you like. Out at moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12011#post-139198 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:47:11 +0000 gembo 139198@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Will it take les panniers?</p> <p>I could check in my three speed and take the paper - would pay ten pound to try it. Then come back next day for three speed? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12011#post-139196 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:31:28 +0000 wingpig 139196@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep, would try. I've only rarely experimentally commuted with my slightly-slower sparebike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12011#post-139187 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:35:08 +0000 Instography 139187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From Fife on a Paper Bike? Hmm. Love to try it but maybe for a leisurely summertime ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12011#post-139186 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:31:05 +0000 LaidBack 139186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sitting here in Laid Back shop and wonder if anyone here would be interested in hiring (or swapping temporarily their regular ride) for the upright, easy going, <strong>Paper Bicycle</strong>?<br /> Our lovely grey/blue demo comes with 8 speed Sturmey Archer hub gears (working!), dynamo lights front and back plus quietly reliable drum brakes. 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>
