    My usual road bike was at my other address and my pub bike had a puncture, the tubes were not working and a cab to work would have cost over £60. 

    So I went to Tesco this morning and bought a brand new Vertigo Richmond for £70…

    I have left it in the car park at work and did not have a lock but for £70…

    It is heavy-ish (about 12kg) and the brakes and gears are not exactly state-of-the-art but for £70…

    Love it.. but face it – when the other bikes have broken you will still be riding the vertigo, this time next year you won’t have ridden any other bike for 6 months…

     

    Also – I would not have admitted that I was so incomptent that I couln’t fix a puncture!  Get better at repairing tubes!
