A bike, a bike, my kingdom for a bike

Steve's initial forray into getting a bike meant popping into some big name bike stores but of course they were all rather expensive (100s of pounds) for what might turn out to be a single use.

Next thought was to borrow a bike. One friend he tried had only recently sold theirs. Another friend was giving theirs to someone else but said we might be able to borrow it for one of the practice rides. I suggested that we go on the practice rides on the bikes we would actually take with us so that we were comfortable with them and we could iron out any wrinkles in their performance before hand through testing.

It was at this point that I remembered an old bike of mine that had fallen into disrepair years back and abandoned in my garage. Perhaps that was still usable, if I could find it in amongst all the other stuff I had lying around in there amongst the cobwebs...
