Ban this sick filth.

This is just trying to groom children into a life of cycling.

How much is it though?!

It'll look great on my "No Life Shelf"

Right next to Agent Mulder's Office Lego set

I think it was 120 or something reasonable, my wife bought it for me so I didn't ask

Is it a sign of the times that £120 is now considered “reasonable” for Lego? 🤔

I remember buying Lego models with my pocket money when I was a kid. 😂

I think so yeah, my son thinks he could ride it but I have my doubts haha

120 is okay for me but I'm a cyclist, bikes are usually thousand of moneys.

My kid is not building the entire thing it's definitely my set he's had plenty of other sets to mess around with

Don't you have a cycle to work scheme?

u/Many_Lawfulness_1432 3d ago

I do, but as it would drop me below min wage, I can't take one yet. 🥲

u/ExtraWorldliness6916 3d ago

Ah man, I was hoping the gov could help you buy this "bicycle" to get around sinse it has a working group set it must qualify.

u/Many_Lawfulness_1432 3d ago

😆 I wonder if it would be possible if Halfords sold it?

2

u/ExtraWorldliness6916 3d ago

Yeah I think so 😄. Take care and I hope you get it when you can.

u/ExtraWorldliness6916 4d ago

Pre order in the UK. Could be different for non pre orders IDK

u/Hainault 4d ago

Was hoping I'd be able to pop to my Lego store tomorrow and pick it up but I wonder if it's even on the shelf.

1

u/ExtraWorldliness6916 3d ago

Probably tomorrow, just looking at the date it's supposed to have arrived after tomorrow, I'm preparing in future, nice surprise!
