Hey! Less of the heffer Wav! If I'm in the MOOOOd to ride a light bike I use my Strida, remember even after 53 Summers, I'm not an advert for McDonalds! It's UDDERly obvious, BEEFore you spend fortune to lose a few pounds on a bike, a month on red wine and low carbs can trim 10 times that off me!
In the GoBike I have a folder which needs to :-
Be constantly folded & unfolded, and crammed into a tiny locker on my bus
Have good enough suspension to handle some pretty rough tracks
Have good punture proof tyres, not some super light rubber razor blades that sink into any soft surface
Have a good range of gears including some low enough to tow a loaded trailer up our steep Welsh hills
Sure it weighs 28lbs (including 2 front lights, one rear, pedalites, seat lock and tool-bag) but I didn't set out to make a light folder, I set out to make a unique but usable ride which is not kept on the mantlepiece, and after fairly hard use is looking battle scarred already!
So less of the BULL!
