I think your bike is great!
Sadly, the lack of gears can wear out the legs a bit though (I've got an old 1950's cruiser style with just one gear too). Sometimes it's just better to buy a 'cheapie' 21 gear bike from K-mart or Target for about $150. They last for years and no one really bothers to steal them as everyone knows how cheap they are, but they do the job & that's all that you need.
By the way; I rate you 6 stars out of 5 for your great sense of humour and self deprecating manner, Amanda - very Aussie! It was a boring video until the witty comments you made at the end - it made me laugh.
Cheers!

I know it's an English bike but definitely Hubert in honour of Sir Hubert Opperman, Australia's most famous cyclist (according to the Malvern Star website) - way to go

Hello (Merhaba) from istanbul Amanda. I think you should name it after me. After all, I'm european at the moment, and you ride me all day too.

Love your bike, how about naming her Edith of Fanny good ol English names...they happen to be both my Grandmas names...may they rest in peace!...or how about "Mrs Gulch" from the Wizard of OZ...She had a famous bike that she could fly on...remember!, maybe you fly to the Station instead of riding.
Cheers!

I think she should be called 'EVERLYN' because she has been around for EVER ♥♥

I think Eunice is quite a good name, but why don't you find out the year your bike was made and then find out the most popular girls name for that year and use that. Please do something about your helmet though. It is terrible. Sorry. How about something green to match your bike. Racey and slick and green.

hi Amanda like the bike i think you should call it something like "the lone ranger" (and by the way when you name it will you christen it like a boat and smash a bottle of champagne over it ?)
also if she wants a flying bike she should have called it chitty chitty bang bang

Hi Amanda I just watched this video again,I still like it, but I have just noticed you did not use hand signals once. Even if you know there is no traffic coming you should still use your hand signals. Especially if you are teaching your children road safety.

'Her Majesty' just like you Queen Amanda & we your humble servants who listen to your show .

Info on the green 'This distinguished-looking, british racing green example would be the preferred motorcar of a successful servant of Her Majesty--like famous spy Johnny English, for example--were he married with children! '

If you don't like that there is always the beautiful old name I love 'Nellie' .

BTW where did you get that helmet ?? I love love love it !

Call it Pushy - cos that's what it is and thats what you can be when you are riding it.
