Sorry, can't help myself. Bikes like this make me sad. It's crap like this which put me off bikes as a teenager - with the demographic of this site I'm sure most of us were brought up on big box specials - they're so poorly put together with such shoddy parts that tuning them to work properly after a couple of months is nigh on impossible, then a year or two later when you take it to a mechanic for a service/repair and get quoted £120, naturally you walk out the door and that's the end of the bike.
Bikes shouldn't be this cheap, they're a compromise and a false economy, and you'll almost always be better off spending your cash on a well-built, used example - or stumping up and buying the real thing new.

The usual anti-cheap bike comments. I've been riding my sub £100 Vertigo for over two years, commuting five days a week on cr*p city roads, parking it outside Morrisons once a week without the terror of my expensive toy being nicked, and apart from one puncture it's been terrific. It will be a depressing day for hotukdeals if people eventually daren't post deals like this due to ridicule from know--it-alls who don't know all that much in reality.

My dog hasn't learnt to ride a bike yet.

Definitely look in the ads for a good second hand one, many people think cycling is easy and get a bit of a shock so end up getting rid of nearly new bikes. Despite what many bike snobs will say on here, Carrera are fine, Apollo, not so good, avoid!!! In your price bracket, the Vengeance is good and often drops to around £200, but not at the moment (I think its in its artificial "RRP" stage at the moment!! :smiley:) or you may be better with a Hybrid?? Pop to a bike shop and have a ride, its the only way to see what will suit you :wink:
That looks pretty good actually. How secure is it? I have a staffie and it would not be good if he were able to break out...

Not because this item is inferior but If he wanted to break out it would take him less than a few seconds as this is only a canvas type materal, so assuming he was deserate to get out im sure he would soon tear through he fabric being such a powerful dog, only good if your dog is crate trained maybe. I have put my shih tzu in it and she did not like it but my yorkie will happiy sit and stay in there.
