Meet Betty. She is my beautiful vintage Raleigh Shopper and she gets me to work and back every day (although she has spent the last few days upside down on my garden table while Tom fixed her pedals). She's my perfect companion due to me being a big wuss when cycling on the road! With a shopper bike the frame is so low down you can just put your feet down when you stop which is handy when being cut up by annoying van drivers!For the past few months we have been expanding our love of 20" shopper bikes by selling some in the shop. They've been very popular and have gained quite a following on the Worcester cycling scene.

Below is a picture of the current folding shopper bike which is for sale in the shop at £65. It's called a Pony and is ideal for taking to festivals as it folds up and fits in your car boot. Very cute and could be ridden by either a girl or a boy as it's very unisex in style. 
This beauty of a bike is our latest addition to the shop. We don't normally stray from selling the 20s but for this we had to make an exception. It is an original 1974 Raleigh Chopper MKII with it's original yellow paintwork. Very cool and great for razzing around Worcester in the sunshine!
Just for a bit of fun we had to include this photo we took under The Brooklyn Bridge when we were on holiday in New York earlier in the year. As you probably know now I am obsessed with anything knitted so this combined with a bike is the best thing ever!

fab bikes. I have a gold folding one but it's taking up lots of room in the shed and I don't use it so it'll be off to a new home soon x
