Also, wouldn't fancy an off on one of these - frame geometry looks a tad unforgiving for the gentleman rider.</p> <p>Wouldn't mind a pootle on one though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11283#post-127111 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 16:01:15 +0000 ARobComp 127111@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqgQlM2inaI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqgQlM2inaI</a> </p> <p>Not 100% convinced althouigh can see the advantage re:folding. Maybe good for shooting about the city on? Apart from don't your troosers get all clarrted up? </p>
