"Some good replies above. Consider a Giant Via. Being a Giant, they'll be good value and work properly. They are slightly retro euro style bikes. They look a bit like an old Peugeot or Raleigh. I think there are a few models with single or multi…"

Bikes for women

I have just moved from Bayside to inner Melbourne and am planning to ditch my car! I am looking to purchase a bike to ride for leisure and errands. I need some sort of satchel/ basket arrangement for groceries etc. Not too concerned about price- interested in comfort and quality. Does anybody have some advice?
