A friend of mine is coming to town and would like to borrow a bike off someone so we can tootle around.

Looking for a Hybrid or similar, that just runs, doesn't need to be fancy but must be working already, as she's not a great mechanic and I don't have loads of free time.

I'm in SE5, if you're near that's great, if not that still should be ok.

happy to pay in beer/parts/a bit of cash/whatever seems appropriate.

thanks all!

You can have my commuting Pinnacle Dolomite 4 but I am in Stoke Newington.

I have been riding the cracked forks and I have lost my front teeth yet

Got a folding bike you can borrow, it’s a bit of a weird one with rear suspension and a drum brake on the back wheel that’s got all the stopping power of a slight breeze. But I stuck a v-brake on the front and it’s 7spd, so ok for pootling around town. It’s in E14....

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
