yeah those are standard, they are a bit big, but I like it
that way. it has a kind of retro feel.

the bike costs 650 euro. which isn't that expensive for a
bike.

yeah I guess. it's a great bike for riding to work and doing
bike trips in general. I wouldn't do heavy mountain biking
with it.
it's definitly more of a city bike but i've taken it to a
light ride in the woods and it's great.

I definitly recommend this one.

the bike's a "Globe Vienna"

you have to get some good bike gloves, gloves are sooo
important, more so than a helmet i think. if you fall you
need to use your hands to defend your face from squashing
into the road and kerbs.

its fun! i love bikes.

enjoy.

With a good pair of gloves you can take all the shock
through your arms and defend yourself. You can slide along a
road on your hands and nees. But, without gloves it gets
very messy.

yes ,hit a kerb with the top of you head without a
helmet,yeah you die!
so both are important.

i have been in a few crashes in my time ,every time i didn't
have the gloves , I freaking hurt Bad , real bad!!
......with gloves i can defend myself from the floor, so
much better. i've come off at 35-40 mph down a hill as the
wheel hit a pot hole, i slid, what must have been 25 meters
!?>? a long way on my hands and nees, if i didn't have the
gloves i would done serious damage. it was amazing, i just
got back up , i did not hurt myself at alll,really , almost
all the pressure was on my hands. my jeans defended my nees
(the gloves i use have special palm protection they are
awesome.)

But, yeah get a helmet too. i'm just saying if i had a
choice, there is no doubt i'd take the gloves for on the
flat road. makes me more confident and that's what I need to
be safe and have fun.

in his defense, i dont think i'm re-tar-dead but i reach for
my gloves befor i reach for a lid.

its all about the steez, fly gloves are easier to find then
a helmet that looks cool, and gloves dont fuck your hair doo
up like helmets do.
