13/10/2013 Took the Folding bike out for a test ride

Yes, I took the Bike Shaped Object (BSO) out for a ride after adjusting the gears

I rode up the the A272 (legs were delighted powering BSO up the hill)

Then turned left and rode across town – discovered issue with changing down is fixed, the chain stays on the cogs

However it has a new issue, the chain will jump the cogs if going for top and you are not too careful – ho hum

Once across town I turned into Oathall Road and once up the top of the hill (hello legs, time to do some work again) I whizzed down the hill

Then I turned into Sydney Road and returned to the station

Finally I rode up (sorry legs, it’s another hill) Perrymount to home.

Please note riding a bike set for someone a foot shorter with the saddle angled forward is tiring for long suffering legs !
