Eating last night's boiled tripe & oinions as a cold breakfast today is achievable, but not desirable.
42 as an escape ring is similarly an unattractive option unless you have Mr Hoy's thighs.
Riding the Cheddar Gorge on this thing was severe, but coming back down the hill to the village was worse due to speed and an oncoming tour bus.
I can confirm the brakes work most efficiently and you can actually use the rear bumper of a mini to help shed speed.
