As summers coming i thought i'd get out of my car and on my bike a bit more.

Then i decided why not get a hybrid!

elmer was always annoyed when he got home and realised that his recent sartorial purchase, a fetching baseball cap, was "dry clean only". well.....we have all been there before, when you look at a label which shows all the little symbols crossed out.......it makes you feel that it is virtually impossible to clean the garment unless in the tears of angels, whilst gently being rocked back and forth in the arms of the virgin mary and gently dried by the warm breath of a newborn dragon-babe. his dry cleaning bills had hit the roof and he was about at the end of his tether. his car wheels needed replacing and although he had been trying to save his hard earned money he no longer had the funds. to add to his woes his wife was constantly nagging him to clear out the hundreds of coathangers he had collected over the years that were taking up a lot of space in his garage, until one day....aha!! :idea:

....now what to do with all those plastic bags and bits of cardboard

If you want good grip and a safe ride, you need big alloy wheels and low profile tyres.
