The tip I got the tent from has a section for the recycling of plastic
garden chairs, kids' toys etc. I spotted a rather knackered looking
Rhode Gear child seat it the pile. I also spied the still attached,
good condition Blackburn rack which had supported it. The rack is now
in my shed awaiting attachment whenever I can find at least one round
tuit.

Not quite so bad as that. They tend to pick out the good stuff and
display it, while the crap stuff goes to recycled steel.

Going there to shop for a potential replacement for the Apollo this

So anyone got a Subway bike delivered yet?

How are they?

Cheap and nasty or value for money?

Do they need assembling? Come with tools? What's required?

Cheers,
