Reason for choosing the Mezzo
I am a regular bicycle commuter who got frustrated with bringing my full-size commuter bike onto public transport. After shopping around (and reading the review here), I bought a Mezzo d9 from a local shop in Caversham, Reading. I thought you might find it useful to have a more up-to-date user review of the Mezzo. I ride it about 2 miles from my house to the train station, and from the other station to work, about 1.5 miles, and this about 3 times a week. After 4 months of ownership, here are my thoughts.

The Mezzo D9 has been given a good review on the Stuff TV website. You can read the review here or go to http://stuff.tv/Review/Mezzo-D9/ to see the full picture. (more…)

Mezzo D-9 TestThe Stylish Mezzo was designed by Formula One designer turned bike inventor, Jon Whyte, and it’s easy to see the F1-style attention to detail that’s gone into this product. For example, there’s deliberately no folding hinge on the main frame to give it maximum strength and the steering post sticks out at a right angle, making it that bit more responsive.The brilliantly simple self-locking catches save time and effort when folding (you don’t have to unwind and wind to tighten them as you do with standard quick release catches).Like Brompton, both wheels flick back, staying tucked neatly together so the bike becomes compact. Little wheels on the rack allow it to be pulled along smoothly. The only issue is the price – but then F1 engineering doesn’t come cheap,A cool, lean, mean cycling machine. 

You would not normally associate the Mezzo with the kiting fraternity. But the people who inhabit this high-tech hobby world appreciate fine engineering, stylish looks and lightweight packaging. That’s why they vote the Mezzo a ‘must have’ product. You can read their review of the bike here:
