MrMiracle I had considered that and am glad to here you are happy with yours. This makes me want to get one tonight! There is not a very big selection in our small town one local bike shop, k-mart, and wal-mart. The marts are not always well stocked but with the holidays getting closer they might have a better selection. I think I might go that route and check the marts, flea markets, yardsales anywhere for something to ride as soon as possible then learn more before I spend$$. I will learn something and can pass it on if I decide to get another and I do need to get in shape a little more before I worry about going to far or too fast.
