As a follow-up to my previous post, http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1...sg-1857792
I have been running short errands with my new "toy". Due to the hot humid weather and not having a trailer to carry stuff the trips have been within the 2 mile round trip distance. Compared to my old Dahon Mariner D7 (7 speed), this bike is lighter and the better higher gear set shifts smoothly and easily hence the ride is much more comfortable and enjoyable. I already tackled 1/2 way up that hill (mentioned in my previous post) without breaking into a heavy sweat. Looking forwards to a steeper hill this weekend weather permits. Haven't taken it on the bus or light rail yet. With its compact folding, there will not be much trouble. That will happen soon. Oh, yeah, the look I get from residents of this town of 38,000 townfolks... I am the only one riding a folder about town. It's been fun thus far.
If any of you are thinking about getting one, do your research then have test rides of various makes/models at your local dealers. It might look like a child's bike but it sure stands out in ride performance and fun factors for adults
