I want to ride my bicycle

We went to good old Migros - top of the range 18 gears 159ytl suspension as well!  We have been happy with them but we are not bike experts.  We bought baskets at the bike shop opposite the Migros corner on the main road (if that makes sense). The young man in there was a fantastic help and sells any bit of any bike you could wish for.  If we had seen the shop first we may have bought there and I would certainly try him for a price comparison.

Migros had other bikes that were cheaper and different designs and they also had gears I just picked ours because I liked the colours (girly thing).

They were flat packed and you need an allen key and a couple of spanners to assemble (boo) but they went in the back of the taxi and I didn't have to ride it home (yippee).

May seem like a daft question but can you hire bikes anywhere? We like the idea of cycling but we're not keen enough to want to own them!

There's a place on the front hires bikes Val.  On the right hand corner before you turn.  Noticed them in April when we were over although I'm not sure what condition they were in.

We bought ours from one of the many shops on the one-way road out of Fethiye past the perfume shop. Went to collect them an hour or so later and rode them back to Calis. Not as daunting as it sounds!

I thought that buying a couple of bikes for the Villa would be attractive to some, I did not reckon for one second that Eddie Merckx and Lance Armstong would turn up.

We have ridden the bikes up and down the prom a couple of times, this duo complained that we had a spoke missing! Who do you think is to blame?



PS
The bloody outfits are worth more than the bikes, and Graham, I have spotted that spoke!

If I dressed like that on my bike I would look like I was from "Little Britain"
