I do a bit of commuter cycling and mucking around in the bush in my own time, but I do most of my cycling these days as a public safety cyclist.

My bike(s) - '98 Giant Rincon SE.

Old, not brilliant but got 2 of them at the right price (ex St John Ambulance cycle response team)

Would love to get a decent bike but I flog the crap out of this one and I can't say it has let me down yet. If it did I always have another one.



Out of interest, the new responder cycles are Trek 6500s. I find that the frame flexes a lot more than the old Giants and I wonder whether they will last nearly as long...

Admittedly though, we do put 20kg of gear on them and ride up and down stairs...

The disc brakes and better suspension on the new bikes is a welcome advance though.
