All bikes you casn by here are mountain bikes, except a few racing bikes. I want a plains bike, with real mudguards, and non-knobbly tyres, and perhas with a basket or a carrier or something.

When I got back home I did my research to find a suitable one. There were a lot available by mail order, but I really wanted to sit on one to ensure it was the right riding style for me. I found a fairly local store that sold the type of cycle I was interested in. I emailed them and asked about the range and I was offered the chance to test cycle them in the local park. This one felt just right, so I took it home with me. It is a pleasure to take it out for spin. I drop my camera in the basket choose a direction and watch the world go by. I seem to attract lots of attention which leads to companionable conversations along the way. I have a very nice mountain bike but it was never the cycle I wanted and it has languished in the garage for years. I need to move that one on to a new home. When you say a plain(s) bike do you mean a road bike? Or is it something else? When I was in Mechelen earlier this year I fell in love with traditional style bicycles and wanted one.

Since our bikes were stolen 20 years ago, I've been looking for replacements, but all you can find in the shops are mountain bikes. I want a plain(s) bike. Once my heart leapt for joy when I saw a real bike in a shop window, but my joy was shortlived. It was a mobile phone shop and the bike was only for show and not for sale. Oooh, a real bicycle!

Hope all is going well by now and the electrician has recovered from his shock fully. Good idea to get out and ride your cute bike. Well that sounds like a bit of a problem at work.
