1204.0. "rending in Berkshire?" by SHALOT::ELLIS (John Lee Ellis - assembly required) Tue Jun 13 1989 21:23

    A colleague is to spend a month or so in Reading in the near
    future (he hopes) and wonders what kind of bikes one can rent
    in the Reading area ... or should he just bring his own.
    
    Answers here or directly to John ATLAST::Lawrence.
    
    Thanks,

	If I thought you really wanted to "rend" a bicycle, I wouldn't let you near my collection. :-) ed, who is having a slow day.
1204.2	Try Wilkins	LEROUF::WILSON	John, Valbonne, France 828-5631, VBE	`Thu Jun 22 1989 08:31`	6
	As far as I remember, the best bike shop in Reading is Wilkins Cycles, about halfway between DEC park and Reading centre on the Basingstoke Road. They probably don't rent bikes, but they might have information. I found them helpful the few times I bought stuff there. John
1204.3	Prognosis not good	JUMBLY::MACFADYEN	Viridian Green	`Fri Jun 23 1989 10:55`	20
1204.4	Just your basic bike.	BYCYCL::FISHER	Rdb/VMS Dinosaur	`Fri Jun 23 1989 11:48`	3
	They probably do not have either toe clips or aero seat posts. ed
1204.5	UK-bound Schwinn, then	SHALOT::ELLIS	John Lee Ellis - assembly required	`Sun Jun 25 1989 03:33`	8
	Thanks. I'll forward this to John Lawrence (avid bikist colleague) and suggest he bring his own. Where is Berkshire Cycles? I didn't know about that one. -john RE: Aero seatpost... good point. That's the real kicker. The other compromises you could probably tolerate for a week or two... :-)
