    Make sure you wear a helmet though in case you fool off!
  • 'Thirdly, the saddle and wheels can be quickly released using patented Rip/Tear technology. With these valuable parts removed, the bike can be left securely taped to a wall without the risk of theft.'

    OMG! I love it. I want one!!!!!

    review_visitor.jpg I saw this, and I immediately wanted one! So glad I did! The price is great, and although its not suitable for all weather conditions, it gets you from A to B quickly and safely. One of the best purchases I've made this year! Thanks Firebox :).

    review_visitor.jpg Best bike in years. Good for the environment and good for you and when I've finished with it I'll shred and let my Guinea Pigs sleep on it. Everyone wins!

    review_visitor.jpg Card board rash became a real problem and chapped both my legs and my chap! I manufactured styrofoam trousers with hinged knees and riding's a pure joy. Has the tandem been released yet?

    review_visitor.jpg I did what Andy From Chipping Norton suggested and sprayed my bike with WD40. It stopped my bike from getting wet but some idiot threw a discarded cigarette in my direction this morning and my bike went up in flames. Now I have a pile of ash.

    review_visitor.jpg The re-cycle is wonderful! I love the way it blends German design flair and Italian build quality to give the rider the edge in the city.
    Jon Pearce, Coventry, UK. - 1st April 2011

    review_visitor.jpg I got one for my birthday a few weeks back. Really LOVED cycling round as it is a smooth ride. The only problem I had is with the paper chain! TO effectively travel in a forwards direction the force required to power the human/bike complex is 100n, thus force requiring a speed of 0. 01mph to prevent breaking the paper chain. Now I know makes a difference with the plastic coating but is there anything the manufactures could do to improve this? Really wodges me off to be honest. :/.
    Ben Hudson, Trowbridge - 1st April 2011

    review_visitor.jpg What a fantastic masterpiece of engineering - I'm a bit worried though that the technical specs say that the re-cycle is not suitable for recycling... I was about to put an order in for 10 before I saw this! Oh well, never mind!!
    Elaine, Newcastle - 1st April 2011

    review_visitor.jpg This obviously is pushing recycling to the absolute limit- still great fun for those with lively minds and a sense of fun. Tip: Try WD 40 for waterproofing.
    Andy Forbes, Chipping Norton - 1st April 2011

    review_visitor.jpg Pros - This is fantastic, easy to carry on the tube, great gearing and the latest OGC (old greeting card) brakes. With a few poster paints I have made it a real looker. Cons - Bus went past splashed through a puddle and my front wheel melted :-(.
