FOR SALE: A Blue Bike

Do you need a bike? I am selling my blue bike because it is too small for me now.

The bike is three years old, but it is in very good condition. It has a new bell, a basket and a light for the evening. It is good for children from seven to ten years old.

The price is 200 dollars, and I can give you a helmet for free!

You can see the bike at 12 Herzl Street, Riverside, every afternoon after four o'clock. Call Anna: (555) 000-0000.
