I am thinking about a new bike. It will be used for commuting. I have two options:

http://www.parkersofbolton.co.uk/p-1719-viking-sprint-road-race-bike-14-speed.aspx

I know that they might be crappy ones...But i would like to read your opinions

Thanks

Mana or Health. A dubious decision...

I knew from reading the thread title that there would be some worthwhile posts in here. And I was not disappointed. :P

OP, if those were my only two choices, I would pick the road bike because it's cheaper AND has more gears. Both are atrociously heavy though (12.5/12.75kg i.e. 27.5/28lbs? no thank you), so I'd probably look to buy a lighter budget bike or a nice used one instead.

I think poison ivy has more mitten-like leaves... I could be wrong though.

Always take the red.

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small and the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall.
