It is usually totally ready to go, and it has toe clips. So, I can jump on it wearing whatever I might have on - regular shorts, sweat shirt, Levis in winter, whatever, including tennis shoes, and just pedal away. The only requirement is one rubber band on the right pants leg (I keep losing those thingies that are made just for that purpose, so I just have a large box of rubber bands.)

It has panniers so I can go to the grocery store and get stuff, etc.

Sometimes it just takes too long to get all duded up! Fast is good.
