I'm starting to get more serious about riding again. It was partially prompted by my wife--- we got a couple of Schwinn Loop folding bikes a couple of years ago (50% off) to take on trips, and she decided she wanted a full sized bike. She ultimately picked a Jamis Citizen at the LBS. Nice bike--- step through cruiser/town bike. So, for the past few weeks I've been browsing cruisers. I have finally decided on the Firmstrong Urban Man. It should get here this week. I weigh 228 right now. I'm playing with the idea of swapping out the OEM wheels and using a Nexus 7 IGH set that I have. I figure it will be a decent enough ride to cart my big butt around on paved trail rides with my wife.
