The perfect commuter bike - Hoy Hoy Rats

August 14, 2008 at 5:44 am

Yes ~ you’re absolutely right. The name’s got to go! But the bike is a winner. The perfect commuter bike. Weaves through traffic and hits the straights like a Tour de France sprinter on a powder cocktail! It may have one of the most stupid names since Marc Bolan decided to call his son Rolan, but the Hoy Hoy Rats has great promise as a commuting road bike.

Pros Speed. Agility, particularly out of the saddle. Climbing ability. Ideal for long straights and weaving
Cons Slightly harsh response over speed humps, potholes and cobbles. Speed demons could find themselves wanting a wider spread of gears. Seatpost with integrated rear light a bit silly.
