I tend to have hand numbness because I ride with a lot of weight on my hands due to a bad back. Kind of a straight armed tripod.
IF I wanted, I could find rough enough pavement that an X-mart BSO cruiser would be faster.
Thanks to some street construction finally being finished, I can avoid the rough detour I've had to take.
Now to deal with a roundabout that most of the towns citizens will experience for their first time!
