Returned last night from deepest, darkest, Welsh Wales having spent the weekend basking in the Spring sunshine, playing on our folders and eating ice cream.
No. 1 son was ecstatic over his bike and was inseparable from it for much of the weekend. Saturday evening found him playing with a bunch of other kids on the campsite, jumping it over an improvised ramp!
We went for a couple of rides and Wow! Instant 'Rent-a-crowd' time! 'Where do you get those'? 'How much were they'? 'Are those Bromptons'? And, memorably, some kids 'Worrr! Sick!' and a middle aged couple 'Oh! Look at those! Folding bikes. We should get some!'
How nice to get such a positive reaction!
On the fettling front I
really need a longer seatpost and the handlebar stem creaks ominously but I haven't greased it yet (It's a good job cos we left the bikes in my Mum's caravan as we're back there in 4 weeks. If she knew she'd go bananas!). Handlingwise they go downhill quite fast, steer quite posititvely and, if you're 9, they're not a bad freestyle bike, either!
