Just checking in here as plans afoot may mean a change of premises and it would be too far to walk sensibly.
seems like Brommie is the way to go if it happens.

Takes a little while to get used to having such small wheels. Some people comment on the way the handlebars feel - a bit wibbly to start with. But you'll soon be doing excessive speed on a very small bike! :)

Good luck Dai! :) They're great :)
