My GoBike

I finally got my hands on on of these beautifully crafted Canadian folders .

I got it from Seppe who runs InGear in Belgium.

He's a nice helpful guy & I can recommend you do business with him! ;o)

There are some good photos (PDF) of the 7 speed GoBike in the Italian cycling magazine 'CICLISMO' which featured this article (in Italian)

If you have a reasonably fast computer and you can't be arsed to scroll through all these photos try this Slideshow

Cool! Or What?
	Front mechanical disk will be replaced with Hope hydraulic mini-pot
Release knob for front fork
	When folded, this knob locks front fork in place
Release for rear fork
	Rear air shock also I've fitted self generating 'Pedalites'
Rear V-brake has been replaced by Hope hydraulic mini disk
	Adjustable stem
Front wheel has 16 spokes, this leaves enough space for the deraillieur slot into to allow a more compact fold
	The airshock & folding hinge
Nice day to try out my new toy!
	The Beach, The man, the mullet, the tattooed beer gut & the GoBike! Scary, Huh?

	Oops! Might have tried that corner a bit too quickly on the way back down the Taff Trail! Yes those are rocks & thorns, yes they did hurt!! Luckily I'd imbibed some liquid anaesthetic @ Fagin's Ale house in Taff's Well!!!
And, like the good mate he is, what does CAMRA Paul do? Help me? Nope!!! He reaches for the camera and says "Stay there! Let me get a photo!"
	Your GoBike comes in a very large cardboard box
This case has skateboard type wheels at one end & revolving castor types at the other end, it has a rigid outer frame & semi-rigid sides. There is plenty of room to pack clothes & other stuff around the bike for extra protection during transit.
	Here are some comparison photos of the GoBike And Brompton side by side
Ready to ride
	And.............
Folded



Hope these pics help you appreciate the comparative sizes
	Fagin's Ale & Chop! House, it's even got my name in the title! Is a great Real Ale & Food pub close to the taff Trail

One of the guys from Christiania Cycles tries the GoBike for size. Christiania is a mostly car-less 'Free State' in Copenhagen, Denmark
	There is an amazing diversity of bicycles, note the Pederson Tandem in the top of the window.
Bikes are everywhere you look, especially load-carriers.
	Even the kids ride around on miniature load-carriers!!!!
Here is a home-engineered over-length Long-John, King of the load-carriers.
	Or how about this beautiful Bamboo Bike which was also made in Christiania.
