I use mine twice a day as my summer dog walk bike - have you tried yours out in anger yet?

But....in UK we are having an extended summer - in the last 2 months it has rained about 3 times - so all the trails are dusty and rock hard!
I am still harversting ripe tomatoes from outdoors plants, and my fig tree thinks it is in the mediterranean as I have had 5lb in the last 7 days, and have resorted to making jam with it!
