    Unfortunately not really possible, my current flat might have been due to them finally sorting out the area round the back and tiding it up but my new flat has a small drive/ no out door space and communal corridor shared with one other flat but wouldn't want to obstruct the minute I move in! :D

    Hey thank you for this, I'm not 100% sure, I quite like the look of the Tailwind Trail Cross & City crossbar 5ft3 so height and also weight is a consideration due to 1st floor flat. Would be used for commuting but hopefully long distance multi day trips etc in the future.

    Thank you for getting back to me, I'd be under BCP and know the 'cyclescheme' is one of the ones they use. Unsure if they have any others, still getting to grips with it all!

    Hello, I haven't cycled in quite some time bar the odd Beryl bike but have decided as a breakup treat to get an ebike via the cycle to work scheme. I'm currently residing in Bournemouth, 5ft3 and weigh probably 8.5st at most. Have looked at the Woosh Santana bike but not sure on the best...
