The problem with them is they're a universal design for both men and women of all sizes, but it's always a squeeze for me, as riding them, I feel my arse is sitting on the handlebars. But in a congested city and with only a 3k trip to do, they beat everything, and they're free for the first half an hour. 20 quid for the card is a bargain.
