It can be challenging to both express the truth for myself, and still relay the idea that the brand could be just what another party is G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13429419832660419144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-89492531963064783482011-12-09T18:27:47.192-07:002011-12-09T18:27:47.192-07:00Lucky,

I guess it's an North-American misconception, where bicycles are still seen as either a sport or a fad.<brGilesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-47931901407034339732011-12-09T17:48:21.869-07:002011-12-09T17:48:21.869-07:00I think we've all done a bit of "shopping...I think we've all done a bit of "shopping around" at some point.

How do you know if you've got the best one for you unless you try them all? <br /><br />Interestingly, and very much like Giles above, I currently have a Daily 3 and a Pashley Roadster Sovereign.
