My brother is 5’1” and lives in a first floor flat to which he has to carry up a bike. He bought a Byocycles and was very happy with it. I had a go on it. I thought it was going to be hard going as i’m used to my Big Bear. It was fantastic. Lovely to ride and it flew up hills. My brother has now had to give up cycling due to health problems and the bike is now mine. I love riding it as i do my Big Bear. My personal opinion on drives is, always go for a rear wheel drive.
