Beloved Puch bike with child seat and basket (Bloomsbury WC1R)

I bought this bike from LEZ Cycles, who specialise in restoring vintage bikes. It has the original Puch frame and saddle, with new wheels, a wicker basket and a child seat added when it was restored. I’ve had it for five years, but everything is still in excellent condition.

It’s practical as well as full of character: three smooth gears, a working bell, and a timeless upright ride.

If you’re after a bicycle with personality (not just another flat-pack model from the internet), this one will treat you well. Please be kind to it – it’s a special bit of kit!
