| | Road Bike for Women wanted [Zurich]
I am looking for a good condition bike for biking to work. It is around 15 km one way, which is around river. So it should suits with road with stones and can be using to climb a little bit.
I am around 165cm high. Budget is around 100-200CHF. Let me know if you have a bike to sell. Thank you!

Unless maybe it's 20 years old.

If it works and don't break when i bike, it would be fine  And I also saw some bikes in the Forum in good condition with this price. So I set the preference...
of course the budget can be higher for better one..

From your posts do I get that you simply want any decent working bike to ride on the road?

It might be an idea to ask moderator to change the title of the thread. Cycling words have changed in meaning.
In my childhood a 'road bike' was a racing bike. And some people at least use 'biking' for off-road and cycling for travelling from A to B on two wheels without fancy bits. And 'going out for a run on my bike'? I can't work it out at all.

Thank you for discussion  . Yep, I don't mean a racing bike. Just need a sportive bike can be ride on the stone road ....
Actually, the name just copy from the other two post...I think they also don't mean a race bike...I am ok to delete the 'Road' if it makes readers confusing.. |

Look at this link. I have a ladies hybrid bike. I'll take 250 CHF for it as I'm clearing out the cellar and since our daughter was born, my wife doesn't ride it. It's fully serviced and is a great bit of kit Women's Road Bike [Zurich] |

| | Re: Bike for Women wanted [Zurich] | Quote: | |  | | | It still is. Really. | | | | | you are right. I google it  ... i am wrong... i should only ask for a bike...even mountain bike is better than a road bike for my case...because it is generally unpaved/off road. Can anyone help to change the title? or should I open a new thread...
