Time Owned: 2 Months
Local Terrain: Very Hilly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Powerful hill climber, even 1 in 8 with ease. Cruises at around 15 plus without any pedalling. Great for shopping with large panniers as load is held low so stable. Very comfortable despite no rear springing on the two model.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:
Single gear so continuous pedalling only really practical up to about 14 mph. Fairly large when folded, make sure it fits in your car boot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
A good universal utility bike that's always ready for the odd journey, since no cycle clips etc needed and good mudguards and flaps protect well. Practical even for longish runs, and will even tow a trailer in moderately hilly country.
