Owner Reviews
1st trip: approx 7 miles, along canal path of varied surface. Bike was comfortable, brakes were fine. A pleasure to ride.
2nd trip: 4 mile ride to friend's place for a party. Low gearing forced me to ride slowly, so I therefore didn't arrive in a sweat! Felt like I was back in Amsterdam.
I've also folded the bike and transported it via car, which wasn't a problem. The bike folded swiftly and didn't take up much space in the boot. I got mine for 200 quid (second hand, and only a year old), which is an absolute bargain. I agree with some comments about it being low geared -- you can't go too fast (say, above 18 mph) -- but I don't see that as being a problem. I'll use it mainly for commuting, so the lower speed will stop me sweating profusely and, when I fancy a more leisurely cycle, this will definitely be the bike I take.
An absolute danger, should carry a health warning.
