Got that recorded, haven't watched it yet.
Did watch Predator Badlands last night, it was good/enjoyable, but felt less like a Predator film, more like an Aliens film, at least setting wise. Prey is mich better.

Dog lover, avid reader (fantasy/sci-fi/crime). Listens to blues/rock/metal. Nothing better than being out for a bike ride though!

Definitely quieter, neighbour has 4 kids, a dog, and another cat. Doubt she gets much attention from them.

The best thing to do with coffee is pour it away then make yourself a civilised drink, aka, tea. π

I'm thinking Tucker and Dale Vs Evil.

I've had a lot of different bikes, hybrids, road, gravel, folders (small wheels, full sized), none required a period of "getting used to it".
I particularly liked the bit about displaying ID labels front and back. Motorcycles don't even have front plates.

This from their letters page is one for the ages. π€¦πΌββοΈ

My average speed was/still is around 16mph.
Honestly at this point I think the Brompton isn't worth it. Too many downsides for me personally.
It's a case of not all bikes being right for everyone. π€·πΌββοΈ
