Good morning.

Hi.

Is there anything you're looking for today?

Yes. I'm looking for a bike.

Yes. Follow me. Right this way. What kind of bike are you looking for?

A three-speed woman's bike.

We have two models on sale. This one is ($129.99) one hundred and twenty-nine, ninety-nine and this second model is ($169.99).

Can I take the cheaper one for a test drive?

Yes, sure. We just need 2 pieces of ID and you can ride it in our back parking lot.

Here's my identification.

Okay. Thanks. Let's check that this bike is the right size for you.

How do you check that?

Make sure when you are standing the bike seat is just below your waist.

I think it's fine. I'm going to test drive now. I'll be back in a few minutes.

How did it go? Did you like the bike?

It felt very comfortable. The brakes work well too.

Would you like to try the second model to compare?

No, it's too expensive. I'm going to take this one. I really like it.

How do you want to pay?

Credit card?

We take MasterCard and Visa.

Here's my Visa.

Sign here. Here's your receipt.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome! Enjoy your new bike.

Thanks, I will.
