I can't speak to the Tern, but my friend Amy ordered up a Pocket Sport [drop bar version of the PC] sight unseen as her first bike since she was a child. Jumped on it and rode across the Canadian Rockies, down the coast to SF, took it on a plane to Maui, then on another plane to the Canadian Maritimes where it has been toured and commuted regularly...
I helped her order her Friday and get regular thank you emails with updates on her latest adventures...
