Yep, I've been to Calhoun. Tested an Airnimal there, as a matter of fact. Didn't buy it - various reasons - but had a nice ride around some lake trails nearby.

Certainly it's a good idea to rent a Brommie first rather than purchasing outright. But here a couple things to watch out for. This based on experience with my M3L:

1. Riding position can be wonky. I'm a short guy, and it feels like the bars are at shoulder level. It might be fine for you. For me, it isn't.

2. Gearing can be extremely limited. My M3L is geared way too high for my tastes. If you're a masher it's better, but if you're a spinner like me, not so much.
