Upright is the way to ride if you are not a sporty cyclist. It's how the dutch do it for good reason.
Definitely not a cyclist! Just want to ride leisurely for fun.
Someone mentioned the "Pure" and that you stop with your feet flat.
What does that mean exactly?
If it means what I think it means, couldn't I get a smaller one of the other bikes and be able to put my feet flat on the ground?
I actually want to be able to do that as I am just starting out. I rode my wife's road bike and had a hell of a time. My feet couldn't reach the floor when I"m sitting!
