The SH manages to be fun and frugal,ideal for your habitat,TP.
Just a pity they are dull to look at.
Yes, they are absolutely brilliant as a commuter. Took my last one up to over 80k miles and hardly any faults with it during ownership. During the time I owned it I did have a few bikes as often I miss having a real bike and it worked out well really. Maybe that's what I should do again? I'll maybe start a new thread rather than cluttering up this one...

Sort of a Christmas present as it was delivered on the 22nd - a Morphy Richards 'Clarity' soup maker. It came top of the Which? 50 best things of 2021 and sounded useful so ordered one direct from MR (at several £ less than other places, if they actually had them).
Just given it a 'test drive' and it's a
10 mins prep, chuck stuff in and press go. 21mins later, soup.
Whether it ends up in the deep, dark cupboard of 'really useful kitchen gadgets' - time will tell.
Main Christmas prezzy will be from Screwfix after 1/1/22 when my 10% off voucher is valid.
Let us know coz that's the sort of thing our lass likes and it's her birthday soon.

Nothing spectacular this year, but some very thoughtful gifts from family members.
J.A.P. branded t-shirt and cap from my gf, along with a framed print of a J.A.P. speedway engine (bit of a theme there....)
Some nice framed photos from my brother, especially a lovely one of my father and my gf laughing together at some joke.
Oddly a Panini grill from my 12 year old niece.....

I love his new bike threads.
Me I go say, ktm690, Mt 07, Yamaha xt660x
You know, basis on a theme. He throws in
50cc scooter, 1200cc Harley, KTM 690.
I mean how a decision can have 3 things so far removed as an option is beyond me.
Me too, and in his position I think I'd be doing the same.
Back when I was a UK commuter going about seven miles each way I had everything from an Aprilia SR50 to a VFR800 to a bicycle.
I see myself as lucky with being able to have such a broad set of choices. Weeksy et al; have specific requirements from a bike and it's a narrow focus to meet them. Whereas I just fancy different bikes and wonder what it'll be like to own/ride/commute on and sell it if it doesn't work out. That said bike weight and seat height probably limit my choices a bit today...
