Pendleton Somerby

I'm sure that you all watched the Olympics over the summer and were delighted with all of the medals won for Team GB. Someone who still sticks out as a key Olympic figure is Victoria Pendleton. Apart from all the medals won she has been a great ambassador for women's sport. Shortly after the Olympics finished she launch the first ever ladies bike range in partnership with Halfords. There are 3 bikes which are aimed at the female market ensuring comfort, fashion and function.

 

It was rather convenient that my old bike was too small for me and I now needed a new one. I am a big fan of vintage, London and Chelsea and my dream bike would be a vintage old shopper or road bike. I went bike shopping with my dad and found the bike for me!

The Pendleton Somerby in baby blue was the perfect bike. The frame was 17" and consisted of thin road bike tyres. The colours are a match made in heaven; baby blue and cream! It had tan coloured leather handle bars and seat as well as a perfect place for the shoppers basket. All I need now was a toy dog to sit in the basket! Halfords offer a free service and build when you chose your bike, which means you can chose accessories to add to your bike and they will install them for free! However I am now surprised that they build it for free as the price is quite extortionate considering it is just a road bike (£300!) This bike is the perfect fashion bike and goes with most outfits but unfortunately if you are a more serious rider you might opt for a mountain bike.

This is exactly what my mum chose. She knew that she would be using her bike in different terrains and gradients. The Pendleton range also consists of the Brooke and Dalby. These come in a deep purple colour and would suit anyone.

                                               

The bikes offer an easy ride consisting of comfort and style. I definitely felt a million dollars when riding my bike and I recommend every woman to buy one!
