Getting my new bike home on the tube

It looks fantastic Charlotte!! :-)

Perhaps it's the sunshine in so many of the shots, perhaps it's your smile, but you make that look like BIG FUN. And I can completely ID with passing cars smiling - I was a little surprised not to see peds staring after the two of you in half the shots.

Couple of questions for you though...

What's the ride like, in terms of (dis)comfort?

Since I bought one of these, not so bad at all. You're very upright and it's quite tough on the sit-bones. Mind you, it's a very involving ride - you're using your arms, your legs and your whole body to muscle the thing along the road. Ten miles onna penny is hard work!

And how much is a new wheel set, if you had a spill?

It would have to be a pretty bad smash to bend up the wheel so bad that it couldn't be repaired. I think if I had that sort of spill, I'd be more worried about mending me first.

Either way, less than an Arraspok I'd have thought...
