What's the point? Just put an engine on it, call it a motorbike, forget the taxi and sell me the bike! :twisted:

    Actually makes sense!

    Bike breaks down, hire a car with a bike rack.

    Ideal answer, or for the times you get caught out.

    The factthy don't charge extra is also a bonus.

    ...It's aimed at fairweather cyclists. :shock:

    "...The trial service has proved popular with City workers unable, or unwilling, to cycle home after a heavy night out. Popular routes from the City to Clapham Common or Fulham cost about £20"

    Prius is so behind the times now,

    Polo Blue Motion in simplest standard trim (1) is 99g/km so VED of 0 and claimed ot manage 70mpg (presumably combined) compared to 55 miles per us gallons on the Prius.
    And thats entirley on an oil burning Internal Combustion engine.
    If only they woudl remove the power steering, windows and mirros, strip out the interior (ie make it realyl basic) it might even manage 80mpg combined.

    Can see a use for this service that isn't the lazy git option:
    Anything that results in a long walk
    Do Nellyphants count?

    Commuter: FCN 9
    Cheapo Roadie: FCN 5
    Off Road: FCN 11
