Yes, bike as in bicycle...
I've somehow let myself be convinced to cycle to Paris in 24 hours (or attempt to...)
I'm going to train on my old mountainbike which I've dragged out of the shed, but I'm thinking I should get something more appropriate for the actual trip...
Probably not a racing bike as this is a leisure trip, but something with a more comfortable posture would be nice.
Cost is a major factor, so a £1,000 carbon fibre beast is out... that said, what should I be looking to spend?
Ideally, something which retains its value well, so I can resell it after the trip and recoup some of my money...
Ideas?
