Bicycle Shaped Object – the blog

Flat pack bikes – don’t buy one!!!!!!!!!!
Just came across an excellent blog written by by Mark Brown, Director of the Association of Cycle Traders.

Mark explains the blog’s purpose:

“The aim of this blog is to provide an account of buying, building and riding Britain’s cheapest bicycle. We started this blog by focusing on a £70 bicycle sold by Asda, the UK’s second largest supermarket and part of WalMart the world’s largest retailer.”

The blog makes somber reading (+ watching) + really does make an excellent point of why it’s best to let a bike shop or experienced wrench set or build your bike up. While building is an important factor the other is the shear lack of  design  + poor compontent quality.
