I brought and ride my bike as a main method of transport. I have a stupidly big hill to ride up on the way home, anyone who lives near me can vouch for that so single speeds/fixies were out of the question. I'm saving up and getting a decent roadie for the summer. So yes i ride a Flat bar'd bike from halfords, but im not trying to show off... Oh, and try and find a full carbon road bike for less than a grand that matches upto the Boardman Carbon Team?
