like most of you here being thankful of the Townie, I am also quite thankful!
i got 55yo mother back on the saddle because of this bike...we spent a good few hours in a few bike shops trying out numerous types of bikes from cruisers to hybrids...but to her the flat foot technology is the end all be all...i am slowly getting her to do at least 15 miles per week and looking to get her around the 30miles per week mark by the end of the summer!!!
2010 Electra Townie 7D
almost everyone that tried it and rode it loved it
Few people here actually think for themselves- they just regurgitate what they read in bicycling magazine. And they will all be happy to make up opinions about your bike without actually seeing or riding one.
AMEN to this!!!
