Loan bike for women maybe?

[Alan M]

Further to the ideas associated with the Sportive, since even after supporting the agreed cause there was about £1000 profit remaining I wondered whether it might be an idea to buy a racing loan bike suitable for a female rider of average height since one of our aims is to promote cycling among women. What do you think?

I agree that a loan bike would be useful. My spare bike a Scott, has been used by various people over the last 4 years as an unofficial ACC loan bike, Mostly by women who haven’t been sure if they want to move from hybrid type to road bike. but I am not sure that the bike needs to be woman specific, small yes but you will get more for your money if it’s not a womans frame, perhaps even 2 bikes for the same cost, doubling the number of people who could benefit from the loan.

Perhaps even we could compile a list of spare bikes, I bet there are many people in the club who like us have ok ish bikes that just sit in the shed. Who would rather see them used than rust away
