What it's like riding a Voi in Bristol - from savage potholes, parking hell and dozy drivers

Since offices have reopened, I've been faced with the dilemma of how to travel into the city centre. Cycling is my top preference, but a recent flat tyre forced me to consider other modes of transport.

So I jumped on a Voi during my mad rush from the office to my kids' school pick-up. The first thing that struck me was how bumpy the trip was compared to cycling.

I felt every cobble at the top of Castle Park, it was also harder to avoid Bristol's savage potholes. I didn't realise how much more agile bikes were compared to Vois until I was faced with a huge dip in the road, and with a car close to my right, I had no option but to ride over it, which was the closest I came to falling off.
