I like the look of small-wheel bikes but have never ridden one. What are they like, how stable in fast descents, corners etc? 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.

Just to get my posts up  No I haven't - I can't drive at the moment so getting quite grumpy, although I have sat in my Roadster in the garage does that count? Very envious, how am I supposed to know if anything has come loose, if I can't drive it?  It's not fair........  Me too that's an extra one  .. How long do they think it will be before you can get behind the wheel again ?

Doctors only say when you feel ready, they won't commit. So really it's upto me, but as I am not sleeping great I am getting tired through the day, I have sat in my cars and checked visibility mobility and it's not to bad.
I am not going to rush it.

That sounds very promising - yes very wise taking it one step at a time lets hope it's not too long though.

Collected new car this morning from KH, followed by 140 mile trip up to Doncaster this afternoon to attend family event tomorrow. Steep learning curve with steering and transmission but it gets better the faster you go. Thankfully little traffic on mixed roads provided good initiation and modest journey time. Even the luggage stayed put courtesy of cheapo bungy octopus although looking forward to leather suitcase with straps and cover to follow   Can't thank Dan Whiting enough for extra work he arranged FOC on dashboard. Hate chrome especially in the cockpit. He not only arranged for main instrument bezels to be removed, shotbblasted and powder coated matt black, but included clock and switch surrounds as well. Also fitted a Sony radio and the Phoenix/John Taylor mirrors I supplied   Great improvement IMO, need to do something with that awful standard rear view mirror though - I was warned
