Stuart, I think they’re a hoot to ride. Great for sightseeing. A completely different feel to a road bike. It’s not that they are unstable it’s that they turn a lot quicker. I’ll happily ride my road bike without holding the handlebars but wouldn’t try it on the Brompton. I found the descent today acceptable. The main problem was it was very cold and I didn’t have gloves.
