SPG Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi everyone, basically its my Wife's BD at the end of the month and i have already bought her a major present but was looking to get her a little something as a fun gift. I decided to get her a Bike (cycle) as i live in East Lothian and the scenery and bike route's are really nice. So i was wondering if anyone on here had any experience when it comes to bicycles, i know that i am looking for a Hybrid and not a full on Mountain or Road bike. My budget is going to be around the £200 mark as this is a little something to add to her main present. Thanks in advance, Suuny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 What was her main present? I only ask because mine would be lucky if she got a breadmaker or a chipfryer. you know, something she can enjoy every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 £200 is the small gift? I married the wrong person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Is £200 going to get you a decent bike? I'm not an expert but I thought a hybrid type bike is an expensive proposition nowdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I married the wrong person! There is still time Scott, you brute you Is £200 going to get you a decent bike? I'm not an expert but I thought a hybrid type bike is an expensive proposition nowdays. I was hoping that i would be able to get a half decentish bike for this price, if not then i guess i need to up the budget, but id rather try to get something close to this.

Think you may have done this bit the wrong way round! If you are newly wed, a bike not be the best thing to get, she might think you are trying to tell her some Take her away, teach her something new, make it more her time.

She weigh's 7 stones dead and is a gym enthusiast, so im sure she will appreciate the gesture :-), plus she has not had a bike since 1998 :-). She is just back from a Spa week with the girls courtesy of SPG and is going away as her main present buddy :-). We dont live with each other yet either which is a little weird lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
