Help with bicycle !!!

[Inga]

Dear All,

On the 5th of Oct, there will be a biking event in Lagoa. I'm so much keen to take part in it ! Yet I haven't been biking for a while, nor I've got a bike - postponing all the time purchase of it (just because I'm ignorant about modern bikes ...) and now I'm afraid I'm too short in time.
So, if you:
1) have an old bike and want to offer it to me or lend;
2) have a reasonable bike to sell;
3) know where to get a good quality bike (oh, but what is "good" then ?);
please write at arbutus.unedo@netc.pt.
All those ones (bikes) with more gears than sense (it seems like this to me... ) simply scare me.
Has anyone a good advice ?

Thank you so cordially. Inga

I think Biffa might be able to help, he has had more than his fair share of old bikes

And how would you know?

Instead of sniping at Biffa you gentlemen should be helping Inga get on her bike!

and, besides, i thought we agreed that we wouldn't do this.

Where's your bicycle Vicar" I said, (because it was the first time I had seen him walking in 10 years!).
"Don't know, I think it might have been stolen, but I will get it back on Sunday" he replied. "At my next sermon I will go through the ten commandments. When I get to 'thou shalt not steal' God will sort it out, I've got faith"
The following week, sure enough he was riding the bike again. So I asked him if the ten commandments thing had worked as planned: "I got as far as thou shall not commit adultery.......then I suddenly remembered where I left the bike.."

....having said that, are there any local bikes Inga could use

Is this the Inga from the Round Up saloon?
