02/02/2013 – A loop round Cuckfield

Saturday, February 2nd, 2013

Went out to clock up the first ride on the folding bike and to see how it is.

This can be considered as a shake down ride, problems have been noted !

Rode up Perrymount to the A272

Rode across to Cuckfield and round the village centre before returning home

Now for the list of issues:

  1. Do not like the folding pedals, it feels like they will break on me 🙁
  2. Seat kept on lowering, have tightened up the clamp and set the seat as high as I date
  3. The stand kept on coming down, it’s not exactly winning favour

On the plus side it appears to change gear well and I notice the folding clamp is getting easier 🙂

[please note I had to edit the figures on the graph as the GPS didn’t start logging until I got to Cuckfield – ho hum]

Rode out to Ditchling Common and turned left

Rode out to Plumpton and carried on through the village.

When I eventually reached Underhill Lane I turned for Westmeston and carried on riding the lane

Continued through to Clayton and headed for Hassocks then Burgess Hill
