                    Looking to buy a quad bike. Is there anywhere that gives an indication of value, like Parkers?

 One of my pedantic pet hates.
 unicycle = one wheel
 bicycle = 2 wheels
 tricycle = 3 wheels
 quad cycle = 4 wheels.
 It's either a quad, a quad cycle or an ATV but it can't be a quad bike.
 Quad means 4, bike is a slang version of bicycle which means two wheeled so quad bike means that you have a four wheeled vehicle with 2 wheels.0

 Don't worry, with a couple of young kids, I have plenty of things to worry me.
 As I said, I know it's pedantic (but this doesn't make it any the less correct) and it's no different to the people who mention the incorrect use of their/there, bought/brought, insure/ensure and many other different words that are used incorrectly.0
