Cartoon: Cycling on a budget Some ideas for getting going without spending too much money. Lots of people have bikes they don't use in their garages and sheds. Lots of bikes are bought with good intentions, but hardly used. A 'hybrid' is a good choice. See whether any of your friends or family have a bike they don't need. You can get a really good bike by buying secondhand Don't buy a really cheap new bike from the internet or non-specialist shop (Heavy; Cheap full-suspension worse than no suspension; Has it been properly set up?; Will probably break down) Advantage of a budget bike: Far less risk of it being stolen This year's model is often last year's, painted differently You don't need all the bells and whistles to enjoy cycling* *You need one bell Cartoon from 'From A to B', by Dave Walker
