Thanks. Agree with both. The only problem for me is, I have my seat adjusted to rather high (too low is not good for the knee, as I read in one of these forums), so when I stop I can't stay seated be ready to go like other cyclists. This means I had to dismount every 2-3 blocks, imagine the pain
a) such is riding in the big apple.
b) sounds like a good excuse for a +1 bike!
