Gotta scram. They're kicking me outta work. I'll have to check in later from my Ameo.

London Fields eh? I shall go forth.

chris crash, you make me feel old.

Off and on from about '92 to '96

I used to ride for Chain Gang (ask Dinky, if u know her), Hornets, Vanguard (Adam used to pay in cash on Friday nights), Mercury Despatch (just off the roundabout).

the-smiling-buddha, if I ever lose the weight I want to, then you're on for a london to paris race! Starting IN the Thames.

I'm no sir. Just a fat bloke, that used to be pretty good as a pushie, but preferred the long distance jobs to the central london circuit. My favourite pushie job ever, was a Kings Cross to Northolt wait-and-return. I kid you not. I could've started a salt water pond with the sweat.

She's svelte. I'm 10 times bigger than her. Woke up once and crucshed the circus dwarf. can you guess what job I had in the big tent?

I've just checked the Dahon's max rider weight, and its 105kgs. I've got a fair bit of weight to lose before I'm there.....

I'm being pushed towards a road bike. I can see the sense in it. I remember my days as a pushie, years ago. How the bloody mary did I perch on that sliver of polished plastic, passing itself off as a saddle?

I checked dahon. The engineers think fat blokes only speak martian, or afghany. Those engineers are smart tho; cos I hadnt told them what planet I was from.

I jus like the idea of folding my bike. I used to have several mtb's and then some roadsters - my nice red one was a Ribble. Go to heaven now though.

If I cant find my hearts desire in a foldie, then I'll have to look at a road bike. I know mountain bike frames are stronger, but I'd like to imagine that I not get passed by children on tricycles going uphill. Just the thought is bringing a wheeze on. Lol.

I'm not sure why, but I think its an engineering guestimate of how much force (weight + momentum) can be applied through the hinge.

Really, I'd love a Moulton, but the whole raison d'etre of a folding bike is to fold. I think if I had enough money for one of those, I'd be tempted by the non-sep version? I've tried to source 2nd-user ones of these, but couldnt find the right combination. Just my luck, full pelt down Beaulah Hill, frame failure.

chris crash, you seem to know a bit. I read a bit on here before joining; so what about Moulton? Had a speed record on it - I dont know if it still stands though.

I'm an ex-cyclist thats gained A LOT of weight. I know that folding bikes like Airnimal et al, only accomodate up to 210lbs(15 stone). I'm over 250lbs(18+ stone). So, is there a folding bike thats fast, has an aggresive riding position, that I can use? And are there any strong slim saddles that you can suggest for me to use? I'm taking the plunge and going back on the road....with a freewheel; I'm not skilled enough for a pure fixed gear.
