I lived out there for a while. Sometimes bikes can be rather pricey, and bike repairs are spendy, too. Having said that, there were cheap Dutch bikes around for 199 Euros. Would be worth spending more, maybe? Once cheap bearings and stuff start to go it's no fun pushing one of those beasts around. Finding that with my hybrid now - it's getting harder and harder. Needs a bloody good overhaul, but it's galling to spend money on the beater bike...
