Hi. I am thinking about getting a bike, but I'm struggling to find the right thing.
I thought a folder would be good because then I could:
but I would really like electric assistance in case I decide to try to do some 'free miles' as I see it. i.e. cheap and easy transport. So that brings me to the Ribble CGR AL e or their Hybrid styled bike. A bit more money than the Tern folder, but same weight (remarkably!) at 12.5kgs, and with electric assistance if needed. but it doesn't fold - so it'd never go in my boot. Actually, my rear seats do fold down, so it might just about be possible to get it in anyway with the seats down. My seats are white though so it's a scary thought.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Carl
I thought a folder would be good because then I could:
- Go and collect my car the next day after being at the pub (put bike in boot).
- Go out somewhere in the car to go for a cycle ride (put bike in the boot...)
