It's not a folder but @Fab Foodie was all excited as it's another small wheeled bike to add to his collection.

We are just deciding on colours and accessories before we order.

The weekly shopping will look fab in the basket

What was the connection?

Erm, Vodafone perhaps.

Ok, I guess I'm still hankering after my Brompton and don't want to be shown something else.... though it doesn't fold which would be my reason for buying the Brompton! Anyway I wasn't expecting both you and @CarlP to be awake and liking posts in the middle of the night.... I'm hoping the 'honey' kicks in and makes me sleepy shortly but I don't think I put enough in!

what's with all this talk of cycles?

What shoes?
Orbea Katu. More fun than a barrell of monkeys. I may have to sell the Elephant bike....

Is too early to be eating Haagen Dazs ice cream?

No, I thought not.

It's more comfortable than a Brompton, it can turn on a sixpence and it's just an ideal shopping/ lunch bike.

That bike was sold, the local science park had ordered several for the scientists to get from lab to lab carrying their files. It's smaller than the Elephant bikes but it's a bit bigger than a Brompton I think.

I likey likey

Also... @summerdays
Physically much smaller than a regular bike (compare to the one next to it), shorter, lighter really stable but in a lively to ride way. It will take a rear rack for the heavy stuff in Panniers which will also be lower to the ground so more stable. I don't know what the front basket will take weight wise though. Both the Brompton and the Heffalump will take 15kgs. The Heffalump is great but mahhosive in size, weighty and takes a lot of storage space. The Katu much less so. Also easy and useful to take on camping trips (as are the Brommies of course, but if the car is loaded they don't go well on a bike rack)!

Mostly they are fun to ride as is any small wheeled bike and absolutely perfect for Deal life!

You forgot 'and plug ugly' .


And they're by Orbea . It's a no-brainer.
Did I tell you I might be acquiring a small-wheel shopping bike to play with? Sadly not an Orbea though .

I can hear a small bike convention being planned already

The lady who is becoming my assistant is lovely. I have been doing this input stuff so long however, I forget that not everyone has codes held in their head like I do and have to look them up.
