    Are you looking for a push bike or one of the motorized variety?

    Re: Cheap Bike

    Decathlon do a single speed called the vitamin, its very well thought of on bike forums. Being single speed its reliable, but requires a bit off effort on hills. Goes in and out of stock so worth asking in store.
