    Yup i'll be wearing a helmet. (its beside the bike) Just need to buy a chain and lights. I've dug out one of my old Hi Vis vests from Archaeology for cycling in the dark. It just needs a good clean.
    And i dont think i'll be naming it. Not good with naming things.
    My sister on the other hand would name it. Her car is called the BelleMobile.
    I saved €46 in total on it. The bike was reduced from €250 to €239, I got €10 off the helmet and the guy in the store gave me the mud guards for free! they cost €25. I was trying to choose between this one and another one that was a pretty purple colour but this one won (not just for its pattern!) because it is Aluminium, lighter and wont rust. And it is much lighter as i've already carried it up a stair to my friends.

    Merlin is a perfect name!! See the bad economy is actually good if one doesn't lose their job.

    That really is a nice-looking bike! I haven't been on a bike since I was 12! I don't know if I would have the guts to attempt it. Also, quite honestly, too many crazy drivers where I am. I wouldn't take the chance. Besides, I can't even begin to imagine how tired my thighs would be. I would probably give up after one day. So it is best that I don't ride one anymore.

    yeah the thighs hurt the first couple of days along with the bottom but you have to be persistant to succeed. I wont get to cycle till monday now depending on the weather.

    pretty bike! Next you'll have to learn how to dismantle it and pack it into cardboard boxes so you can cycle all around the countries you visit.
