I bought a G Line quite a few weeks ago but have only started to use it to commute into London and my local station, a few thoughts so far;
• It’s too heavy. Knew that going into this but I’m a big guy and didn’t fancy but that weight on a C or P Line
• folded up it still quite big. I got myself a 3rd party stem catch mount which means it folds that little better.

• it rides well and gives confidence as well!
• I need to get bigger roller wheels, I’ve already caught the mud guard a few times as it’s not stable on uneven ground.
If any other G Line owners have any other tips or tricks let me know!

Does the G line have a higher weight capacity compared to the other lines? Or did you buy it because it’s physically bigger and more comfortable for you?
Very nice! I have the exact one in the same color. It is a little big and heavy, but I primarily throw it in my car’s backseat, to take it down to the local bike trail; I didn’t want to mount a bike rack on my car, hence the folder. My only tips (as a bigger guy as well) are to make sure your tire pressure is right, pre-ride; and make sure your gears are indexed properly, using the “little white lines” trick on your hub.
