The 50 best bikes (The Independent)

ROK ON posted this one last year when they had a review of cycling gear:

They now have a bike review here:
http://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/outdoor-activity/the-50-best-bikes-1919788.html

It's quite varied with Road, Mountain, Urban, Kids, Etc.

Sorry Blorg, no Planet X included.:)

It's all very arbitrary. They have Comtat at no.2 which is basically the same deal as Planet X with a few Rapha-esque decals and the price stuck up.

Good to see some utility bikes, good value folders etc. in there.

actually a very good selection of bikes there (and the focus cayo makes it in there so it must be better than a pl***t -x
)

I know it's function over form but there's some pretty ugly mountain bikes in there.

You gotta love the chopper being back though.

I see the Brompton made it in. Coincidentally I just got Brompton Bicycle by David Henshaw by post today. I've only flicked through it, but it has some good maintenance tips in it, and plenty of product history and background for Brompton nerds (a group I seem to be gradually joining).
