Betwix Harrogate and York

My new commute may result in me having to walk to my office from where I can park (about 10 mins). So I'm thinking of getting one of these:



It'll fit in the mini and will save time on my commute. But will I

A) look a bit gay

or

B) get away with it

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

its cool in a geeky style, but i think you will have to check if it clashes with any school bus stops

otherwise youll have to be pedaling fast so they dont throw stones at you

how about a monkey bike/go ped/skateboard?

It's a bit Elton John, but it could be cool. I think you'll get away with it. :)

I find my tool box affects my balance, more so on todays uneven pavements.


I seen the Badger or Bust TV program about this very little bycicle, the company was in a bit of financial trouble as the marketing was non exstant. I do think it is a good idea, but best to check your route and see if its smooth enough for those small wheels.

I want one!!

I like nice quiet girly Minis

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

I used to be able to get 2 mountain bikes and enough kit for a long weekends cycling holiday into the Mini and still have room for the second bikes owner!

Not sure that little thing will cope with the aweful british roads / paths / everywhere.

What a bout one of the moulton style bikes? They fold up small and work, more or less, as a propper bicycle.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

IMHO you might as well get a Bini or an MGF.

TBH I think the novelty will where off pretty quickly and you'll be back to walking after a week.

That said I want to get a skateboard for work purely on the grounds that the site rules have banned anything that's remotely fun.

Fuck that little assed wheeled thing.

Get one of these instead.

A proper folding bike. One look at the saddle shows which will offer more comfort. I know which I'd choose.
