I have a dilemma.
I've got a weekend pass for next weekend, and I'm going to Great Yarmouth for some uninterrupted and unencumbered cycling. And possibly a roller coaster. I'm getting the train Friday afternoon, and coming back lateish on Sunday.
Aiming to do about 100 miles over the two days.
I'll be heading up the coast a bit, inland around the Broads, and generally riding about. The hilliest thing I'll encounter would be a bridge. I'm staying at the same place both nights, so I won't be carrying luggage.
So, which bike should I use?

Flat as a witches so whatever is easiest sir, Brompton would be my choice

Liking the sound of the Brommie, I must admit. Except I may have to carry it up a flight of stairs.
The other two I could lock up outside.

Check the weather. Dry and little wind and the single speed gets my vote. Geared bike if windy, mudguards if wet.
That does separate them out, as only the Brommie has mudguards.
Having said that, if it's rainy I'll probably go to the pub instead :cheers:

Thanks for the input.
I think I'll be using the Flat-Bar Ribble, as I'm looking at doing the Marriott Way and I think the Brommie will struggle with that.
That plan is largely driven by having a ride on the Bure Valley railway - I love the smell of anthracite in the morning.
