Saris Bones 3 Car Rack

Advantages: sturdy and solid, great looking, good to ride and very useful
Disadvantages: doesn't quite fold up as small as a Brompton

...the Brompton on the underground in rush hour with no real problems. The P8 folds well, but its it not nearly as compact, or as stable as the Brompton in its folded form, The P8 is strongly reliant on the seat post to maintain one of its 3 points of ground contact, and I have found this to be a tiny bit unstable when free standing on a train. The Brompton was a dream to throw into a space in the luggage rack, or between seats, with the P8, its usually best if you can get to the luggage space first, other peoples luggage fits better round it. It also doesn't slide under the baggage holder rack as smoothly, which is a pain if people are pushing behind you to get on. However, the P8 can take a knock, sometimes, for whatever reason people walk in the cycle path, and you might be tempted to take the bike onto the road down the kerb, on the Brompton... Read review

After I compleated the course I went to the loch wich rented them out from then on I go at least every second week in all types of weather so I wish dad would finally get me a topper. they can be stored on a roof rack on your car and the often home with a small folding trailer. The rudder can be removed for stowage or travell the centre board raised/lowerd to diffrent hights,they are also light weight they also come in a wide range of colours ,you can upgrade them so they can be rowed when the wind drops but say you are going in an your topper and you run aground or crash into something wich cracks or punctures the hull or ruptures any I have been on sailing lessons and the boat I was taught on was a topper.

Advantages: Loads of machines.
Disadvantages: Can be full of kids in school hols.

...Last year, The Boyf came home and announced he wanted to get fit. After checking out 3 local gyms, he settled upon David Lloyds - lovingly called "Dirty's" by it's longstanding regulars - as they offered the best joining rate (£49) and off-peak monthly fee (£45) and the sales staff weren't at all pushy like at other places he went to. Trundle along to February 2005. We're dressed up ready to go out and The Boyf looks at me and tells me that I should go to the gym as I have grown a double chin. After he'd got back up off the floor and taken some pain killers, I realised he was right. Anyway, at 8pm one Friday in March, we drove down to D.L's and after going through the various options with the person behind the desk, decided to add-on my details so we were now Couple membership on the Peak Time option 'Health & Fitness' status...
