I have had my bike for a year now and it has proved to be a wonderful buy. I was finding it difficult to keep up with my family and seemed to be playing 'catch up' all the time which was disheartening, now it is me in the far distance waiting for them. My husband and I have been to France and Spain non of it a problem. I absolutely sailed over the 3 kilometre bridge between La Rochelle and the Ille de Re, so much satisfaction as I do have heart and other health problems. I have the Exmoor step-through which is deal for my 5'2" height and quite honestly I have lost count of people who have asked me about my bike and where did it come from. My bike in it's first year has done me proud and never let me down. Well advised at Honiton Showroom. So here goes into my second year. D. from Axmouth, Devon.
