You have to be kidding, going by the fact when living on a houseboat on the thames (oxford 79), EVERY BLOODY morning circa 5 am the first CRUNCH! of a boat collision followed by the obligatory posh singsong 'Sorry' would start the day prematurely. rowing and steering do not seem to be good bedfellows..

A fad bike for seaside dwellers, have to say the girl was fit .
Advertising seems to like to employ fit birds to sell stuff no matter how useless the product may seem.
