Stealth bike

My son is still pondering whether to go into sixth form at his old school next term or whether to move on to an FE college. In truth it'll be a decision based on a function of his GCSE results which we await with bated breath.

The sixth form is attached to his old secondary school and is within easy walking distance from our house but the nearest suitable FE college is about 5 miles away. 

He's been saying that he'd cycle to college if that ends up being his choice but his bike is a bit too nice to leave parked in a college bike rack. In fact I reckon it wouldn't be there very long at all.

So, the plan is to do up one of the old clonkers in the shed for him to use. We'll not smarten up the paint or anything, on the contrary, it'll be left looking a bit tatty but we'll ensure that it is mechanically up together. Anything quick release will be converted to bolt on to save the hassle of casual wheel or saddle theft and clip on lights which can quickly be slung into his bag will be used. 

The journey would involve a bit of road but most of it could be achieved using cycle paths so should be easy enough.
