Apologies for the shit photo, but Airnimals are proper good. Coveted one for ages and was my first foray into seriousish bikes (apols for the shit photo)

I need a workhorse that I can winter commute on, tour on, bung in a suitcase or chuck on a train, and this was the only bike that fitted the bill, its a custom build that I am putting together with Richard at Airnimal who is a proper nice fella!

I followed a chap along Clerkenwell Road this morning who was riding an Airnimal, I admired it and wanted one of my own.

The only one I like so far is the Strida, but I heard it's a pain to ride.

You heard right. It really isn't a bike for anyone but a masochist with a 5 minute ride to the station.

Do they also supply the rest of the wheels or are you forced to roll on those hubs directly?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
