Thanks, having just test ridden it (top bike, not trailer), and having not ridden anything with a freewheel for two years, I'm pretty convinced that freewheels are evil and dangerous. How are you meant to control a bloody bike, when it just keeps going even if you stop peddling? Madness I tell you. It might be okay for some sort of closed road racing, but in London?
