I actually ride all my bikes, ranging from '02-'41. The Napoleon is the most capable for long distance riding due to it being a 24" frame, made of light thinwall tubing & equipped with a teens 2 speed rear hub. I've ridden it to work a few times without issue. I just don't want to prematurely wear out some of it's rare vintage parts, so I purchased a new rider that I can take pretty much anywhere without worry
