So I guess I’ll start with the OnOne as it’s the bike that surprised me the most with how attached I‘ve become to it.
It was originally intended to be a basket town bike for commuting, something that I could lock up and not worry too much about or be overly caring with. But then I started doing longer rides with it as at the time it was the only bike I could attach a decent amount of luggage to. Then I started to use it for overnight camping trips and bothy trips with my girlfriend and really started to enjoy flat pedals with straps; they suited the relaxed riding we were doing and being able to wear trail running shoes meant clambering to camp spots or crossing rivers was less arse clenching than in Sidi’s.
All well and good, however, the basket made the steering feel like controlling a canal boat and it was fairly horrendous in the wind.
