Met Met Bad Boy

Advantages: Looks, Weight, Straps, Safety
Disadvantages: Poor fit, Very hot

...When I were a lad, there was no need for cycle helmets. So little need that they didn't actually exist - or at least I never saw one. Boys were boys and bike crashes were a thing to be proud of. Gravel in the knee, the smell of TCP and a scab the size of a Jaffa cake. As I grew older, I got heavier. And as I got heavier, the ground seemed to provide more resistance to my falling body. This realisation came after a quick tumble from my bike on my way to work. You don't often fall over when you're past your teenage years, so to come hurtling to the ground, only to be whacked on the head by my bike as it bounced over my shoulder on it's way into a bush was a bit of a wake-up call.

The instructors that I have met have all been fantastic, although they always make me feel bad by being able to do the most strenuous work out without so much as even one bead of perspiration. Out door pool. Great!! When it’s open! During the hot summer months, you really did have to get up early in the day if you thought you would like to lay round this pool. Come 10am and pretty much all the sun loungers would be gone. At that time, the pool was staying open until 10pm, which was great for us City workers, who then had time to come home, work out and then cool down in the pool. It is a very relaxing atmosphere out there... Read review
