Two types of bikes have become more popular in the Netherlands over the
last few years.
One is a normal model but has a battery and electric motor to help the
'elderly' biker.
The other is a 'ligfiets' (lay bike?),
Recumbent
a long model usually lower than
the X-1, where you lie on your back and have the pedals in front of you.
These go faster with less effort then normal bikes.
Sinclair seems to have married the two.
Yes - it is like a recumbent with a roof.
I would expect that stopping power and lights are mandatory in the UK as
they are over here.
