So... not much use for Edinburgh then.

Well, assuming you can get it up an Edinburgh hill in one of it's two gears, I'm sure you'll have great fun coming back down with a coaster brake (Repack race down Oxgangs and Craiglockhart anyone?)

Incredible, a non-folding Brompton.
Looks good
Liked the chap's beard

I personally think it looks hideous. The crossbar is much higher than it needs to be so not friendly to mount, and the front rack is a good idea and very useful, but done better by the Biba cargobike.

"crossbar is much higher than it needs to be"
Agree on that, but don't like look of Biba!
Small wheels make sense for carrying stuff.
Plenty scope for 'simple' designs that are practical for 'urban' use - perhaps normally under 5 miles - robust but not too heavy.
Need to be well made.

@chdot - don't like look of Biba
Did it not remind you of a Moulton?
;-p
Sometimes this forum could really do with smilies...
