So I’ve been reading around a bit and now am really knotted up. I mean, first off I thought a plank or slightly bent laminated plank was my best option, then Andy posted his colleague’s bike, and that remains my favourite but then that led through mid racers to low racers and then the dark world of pythons and flevo bikes and now I feel completely befuddled. To whit I need a compact machine, light in weight I can bundle into the back of a small car and where I thought there were few options, it turns out I am literally spoiled for choice.
