I am undecided between a princess or poppy (wish I could have both) I originally had my heart set on the pink poppy and have ordered all accessories with it. But, I am torn as I love the upright riding position of the princess and wonder if the black is more classy. An option is to go with the poppy and change the handlebars to princess ones.

Still haven't been able to ride it though as just coming out of half term I haven't yet had a moment without my three kids. I just have the baby tomorrow, but still no child seat... Roll on Saturday when I can leave them with Daddy for an hour or so!<br /><br />I have a question for you - I would like (I think) to buy a stand for it. Do you have one on yours, do you find it useful (or do you find life fine without one?) and if you do have one, where did you get it? <br />I haven't been able to find any info online, but will email Pashley too for their advice.<br /><br />Many thanks <br />Suziesuziedouglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402494974388692719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-87860685191605465702010-08-04T19:13:51.905+01:002010-08-04T19:13:51.905+01:00Ah these are the most beautiful bikes.

Now I am sorely tempted by the powder blue Poppy as a pootling road bike, they would make such a lovely pair.

It felt like fate!<br />Anyway, as a total newbie to cycling I only have one thing that is worrying me about Poppy. I have no idea where to find a helmet that will not ruin the look of a little blue Poppy scooting round Holloway with a wicker basket. Has anyone got any ideas?

I am supposed to be buying a practical bike to take on a trip to South of France .. cycling with panniers and pulling a surfboard on a trailer behind (a Mule) .. do you think the poppy could cope? could i cope on the poppy for 20kms a day pulling a surfboard? I am not a big cyclist, any advice you have from owning a poppy would be gratefully received ..mabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932793996087422671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-10802507765442265262009-07-27T10:53:23.512+01:002009-07-27T10:53:23.512+01:00I have contacted Pashley and as soon as I hear bac...I have contacted Pashley and as soon as I hear back re a basket, I'll let you all know!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215972353112777858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525610490455818094.post-70568487148753308512009-07-26T16:03:58.996+01:002009-07-26T16:03:58.996+01:00I'm seriously thinking about getting a blue po...I'm seriously thinking about getting a blue poppy, but I am confused as to where you can get a wicker basket for it?
