My old Raleigh M-Trax is starting to feel its age; it&#8217;s front wheel and bottom brackets need replacing, as do the tyres, tubes, brakes, gear changers etc, all of which were going to add up to a pretty penny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giant bikes are usually discounted heavily in late August as they announce their new ranges for the coming year so I took a look at the discounted prices. I bought a new Giant Roam 2 hybrid bike in September with a huge discount of over 10% off the new price.  Being a hybrid it is comfortable, can be fitted with a rack, mudguards and a bar bag so is ideal for commuting to the shops etc and can be strapped to the back of the &#8216;van for when we go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4755\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/worldofwills.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Giant-Roam-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption><br>The new bike, complete with bar bag and rack <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling so far this year has been limited to jaunts along the bridleways and small roads to Meon Shore, Lee on the Solent and Alverstoke as I&#8217;m reluctant to venture further away as we are all supposed to be in lockdown.
