These things were selling like hot cakes today. I expect them all to come back to the store next week when people realise they are utter shyte. What do they expect?
How the hell can you manufacture and sell a bike for 50 bob and still make some profit? Will anyone actually enjoy this introduction to cycling?
Mods: move this over there >>> if u see fit!
well it may give you inspiration at first ? lol... bring back my chopper bike. or was it a chipper .(complete with tassels) .id still love to have a blast on that ! lol
I think if I turned up on one of them at a STW meet, given how rubbish I am some may have a go at me for being over-biked 🙁
I'm getting this beauty - £109 FS and only 26lbs!

Some people I know bought them first time they came out.
They told me at a party as they know I am a keen biker. Took a good 5 minutes for me to stop laughing.
Saw them again at Christmas, they rode them once and have since been left in the garage. I expect this to be a common life span for these bikes.

I started off on a £50 bike. Riding it made me realise I wanted to ride some more...so where's the harm in that?
no harm at all. The cranks turn the wheels and the bars go side to side, so it's all good I suppose. I've just had enuff of lifting the **** things all day!

Most people here in Beijing, won't spend more than a tenner on a bike, as they know that some nooooooob is going to nick it

50 bob is 50 shillings - equal to £2.50 McDonald made the same mistake in a tv advert and had to change it.
Especially when I bought a second hand 06 Giant Bowary, single speed commuter for £110! I think I was lucky.
They will turn around to us and say, "You bought a bike for £1000, you can get one from asda for £50!"
