my first bike

oooooh shiny!

I've decided to get a bike.

Get this...i've never ridden a bike before.

A bit brave/foolish? I mean, learning to ride and actually getting on London roads hmm. I don't know.

I've decided on a Dutch Style bike...oh are they sexy or are they sexy. I love the 'sit up and beg' riding position of these bikes...and thats what i'm really after. Coppenhagen Chic does a good job of featuring them in action..

----------------

The contenders...

Velorbis Victoria Classic
Looking less and less likely...but couldn't resist posting the sex appeal this bike has (lol)

Batavus Old Dutch

This is is a serious contender.. I'm going to have a look at a few of them this weekend. It doesn't look at all sexy or shiny in any of the pics I found. I'm hoping she's not matte when I finally meet her (see..it's getting to me..i've already humanised the bikes).

Ofcourse I'll be adorning her with a basket :)

And the almost certain winner.. I WANT I WANT I WANT

Pashley Princess.. comes as the Princess Sovereign and Princess Classic..

I can just see myself...ahhh Princess

Royalty will be mine!! (insert crazy laugh here)

Can't wait for the weekend..won't be buying..but i'll be a little closer to deciding hopefully.
