But as a mountain bike. As its not got suspension one could use it a commute bike in some parts of
the country.

Funnily enough, Sandy Morton mentioned single speed bikes to me on Saturday. Many of the public
would prefer to hire a single speed bike, without all the fiddly gears. And Cumbrae is quite flat
round the outside road. So maybe not such a bad idea really...
