Not yet but I can foresee it coming in the next year or so.
My dad is 84 and still drives regularly, only does around 5k miles a year, doesn’t drive in the dark if it is at all avoidable and will get a lift from me/someone else if it is an option for any trips.
Mum pretty much doesn’t drive now, still has a license but finds it too…[Read more]

I saw a similar exchange along the lines of…
Buyer – How much is the bike?
Seller – £100
B – OK, what’s the lowest you’ll go?
S – About 3mph, any less than that and I fall off.

@malvernrider 3 to 4 miles each end of a train journey on fairly flat paved roads/cycle paths. Will be attaching some sort of laptop bag to the rack (appreciate it will need to be removed before folding).

Thanks folks.
My default position was a Brompton on C to W but the curl looked like a good alternative for about half the price. Don’t want to save cash and then find it’s annoying or tricky to use.
I’ll see if i can find a local Dahon stock is and go have a play in store.

Thanks for the replies.

@eddiebaby 😀

@munrobiker Thanks for that, I agree with the value point, the Dahon is about half the price of an equivalent Brompton. The fold looks very similar and I really like that it uses standard components. Good point about the flat fixing, I hadn’t thought of that.

Was he called Migg?

No idea but I think I know his sister, she works for the local steel fabricators.

Her name’s Miguelda

For sizing, if I go for the same as my 5-10 impacts would that be right?

Thanks folks, will check out my local army surplus emporium.

Unfortunately changing out of the suit trousers isn’t really practical as I’m doing a number of short (1 to 2 mile) journeys between sites/offices during the day so just want something I can quickly pull on over my regular clothes if its raining so I don’t have to spend much of the day…[Read more]
