like-a-bike-alike

Could anyone with a copy of Cycle to hand possibly post the urls for
the two like-a-bike alikes mentioned in the Q&A section. I meant to
write them down this AM but forgot. One was from Kettler and I can't
remember the brand of the second. If anyone has any direct experience
of either I would be interested to hear it. This is for an almost
3-year-old

They are:

Kettler Speedy Push 'n' Go at £40 from CycleSense:
http://www.cyclesense.co.uk/
Tel: 01937 530303

and

Puky Learner Bike at £55 from Amba Marketing:
http://www.amba.marketing.com
Tel: 01392 840030

No experience of either I'm afraid though.

Just how are you meant to pronounce "Puky"?

Use standard phonetic German pronounciation: Poo - kee, with the "oo" short.

I think Darth Ian has one in the shop http://www.futurecycles.co.uk

It's a German bike from the same school of accidentally unfortunate
naming that brought us the Thorax Sinus recumbent trike (and no, I'm not
making that up!).

It would cross reference back into the daft names for kids' bikes quite
well...

Thank goodness it's not "pew-kee" which was my first thought. It'll be a
few years before my son needs one and I'll probably build something similar
myself.

My mate William-of-Norwich has one. It's heavy, but he puts in plenty
of miles on it, I believe.

We hope to hear him swear, we love to hear him squeak,
We like to see him biting fingers in his horny beak.

It /looks/ like a very nice piece of kit. It just doesn't /sound/ like
one! ;-)

It looks a bit like a greeniespeed...
