City bicycle:
Whether going to town for work or play, the city bicycle is perfect for you. Very similar to the traditional Dutch bicycle, these bikes are easy to use and handle.
An economical buy if you’re working with a small budget because you can get one for as little as £100.

Hybrid Bicycle:
For a sturdy bike that doesn’t skimp on comfort, the hybrid bike combines both the features of a mountain and road bike. They are also less costly than all terrain bicycles, with prices ranging from £99 to £2000

Mountain Bike (MTB):
Perfect for “off road” treks to the mountains or for the cycling fanatic who loves the outdoors, the mountain bike handles rugged terrain and it typically has a sturdy frame that handles more stress and usage than a regular bicycle. Front wheel suspension and the number of speeds play a key role in choosing a mountain bike.

There are many versions available: aluminium = light, carbon fibre = competition, titanium = resistance.
Prices range between £88 and £3,000 for a good quality bike.

Road Bicycle:
For road cycling choose a road bike; they’re very lightweight and aerodynamic.  The dropped handle bars and thin wheels sacrifice comfort for speed, but these bikes fall into a higher price bracket between £200 to £7000.

Don’t forget the necessary accessories: bike helmet, biking shoes, biking gloves, cycling jersey.

Since Asus introduced the first Eee PC model in 2007, netbooks have become one of the most sought after products on Twenga. However, manufacturers’ and retailers’ descriptions do not always explain clearly what a netbook is and what makes them different from other laptops.

Netbooks are generally cheaper scaled-down laptops with 7” to 10” inch screens, small keyboards, small storage capacities and no cd/dvd drives.

They are ideal secondary laptops or as a first computer for technophobes. They are great for email, internet, word processing and can handle instant messaging, playing music, viewing online photos and videos. However, they are not suitable for gaming, audio and video editing or multitasking.

Users looking for a fuller PC experience but still packed into a small size should consider:
•     Ultra-Mobile PCs, which are even smaller touch screen business devices from £500 to £1000.
•    Ultra portables, which are more expensive, from £1000 to £15000, but are capable of gaming, have DVD drives with 11” to 13” screens.

During Q1 of 2009 netbook sales increased sevenfold to 4.5 million and made up roughly 8 percent of all PC sales. Acer is forecasting that global netbook shipments will reach 50 million in 2010.

Here are some the hottest netbooks being searched for on Twenga:

The panic that has swept the world with the spread of the H1N1 flu, a.k.a. Swine Flu, is reflected on the Web with the explosion of surgical mask and anti-bacterial gel sales.

On Twenga.co.uk, the number of searches for disposable face masks is already four times what it was two weeks ago.

For disinfecting on the go, antiseptic hand gels come in a travel size, ready to slip into your pocket or handbag (great for using when dining out). You don’t need more than a dollop to kill the germs. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap and water before and after each contact with food, after using the toilet and after using public transport.

And don’t forget tried and trusted facial tissues; the one-time use will ensure that the germs go directly into the trash and don’t tag along with you!
