A smooth ride

Advantages: Easy to ride and affordable
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...very comfortable on was the Apollo Fs.26 17" full suspension for ladies. This bicycle felt really nice in particular. . Ordering it was easy and simple. I was told I can get the bicycle ready assembled the next day which I decided to come and pick it up myself. The next day I came to pick it up. My bicycle was already assembled and the lovely staff helped us get it down the stairs. Learning to ride at 26 years First I have to say that there ...
...to learn the hard way. Well now I had my bicycle and I had to learn on how to ride it so I went down my local park where there is are the most amazing cycling paths ever. For anyone that learns to ride a bicycle I want to say that is the most easy thing ever. It took me an hour and a half to learn the balance in order to ride on my own. I learn by holding on my husband, he was walking sideways while I was pedalling, before I knew it I was doing ...

Review of Apollo FS.26 Ladies

A good entry level dirt jump bike.

Advantages: Cheap, sturdy
Disadvantages: Poor gearing, unresponsive handling

My friend brought this bike a few months back and has kindly allowed me to review it. First off, its a budget dirt jump bike, so you get what you pay for. The gearing leaves a bit to be desired, and the overall feel of the bike isnt excellent. The specifications are quite good, but for the price it doesnt feel like much thought has been put into it. Again, the gearing is very low end. But for a first time mountain biker you could do far worse than ...
...own bike from scratch you would obviously save quite a bit of money. I cant really reccomend any other entry level stock bikes either, since most at this price range seem to fail in the same areas. It really would be a good idea to build it from scratch if you could. ...

Review of Kona Shred

Gt Aggressor XC2 Grate ride

Advantages: good spec
Disadvantages: tyres

This bike has a really good spec, XT rear mech excellent proformer the only thing that lets it down is the tyres they are a bit prone to punctures when used on road and are really only for off road use. i think that the forks are a bit on the heavy side but still work grate. for the price range would be hard to beat this spec. in my opinion the bike rides really well on cross country trails and is vary smooth and well balanced. i have used my bike ...

Review of GT Aggressor XC2 Mountain Bike

Don't Do IT To Yourself!!!

Advantages: under £100
Disadvantages: Too heavy, horridle comfort, poor value for money...do i really need to continue?

I bought this bike from halfords after reading some pretty good reviews....i now realise the people who wrote these reviews are either extremely unintelligent or are just playing an evil prank on you! Possibly the worst bike i have ever ridden! The first time i rode this bike it fell to pieces...within 5 mins the chain snapped, then the handlebars came loose, then the brakes failed whilst the saddle moved causing some extremely foul language and ...
...only recommend this bike to someone who has wronged me in the past! I don't mean to be too critical but i really feel that it is disgusting that products as poor and UNSAFE as this should be sold to the public!!! Hope this is useful to you! I would strongly recommend paying more for a quality bike that will last you for years! Happy Riding! ...

Review of Trax Outrage

A Good Little Runner

Advantages: Good spec on bike, sturdy, mid range price, value for money
Disadvantages: Not too exciting

...coast to coast where the Carrera was right up there and performed well against others despite my reservations. Have to say though, this bike gives you a good work out and after almost two years of daily commuting the bike and I have settled into a comfortable routine – Kinda like an agreeable but not terribly exciting marriage! This bike would make an ideal starter bike as it has all you need to do some milage in a comfortable fashion but don't do ...
