love this website so much for all the good input I'm getting! Thanx!!!! Great suggestion re weighing the bike .. can even do that my Vet's which is close by and an area I'll want to take the bike to ride (Sunset Beach CA). Not folded it's super easy for me to pick up.. folded I think it's more the cumbersomeness of it that gets me a bit or at least thus far. Again I just got it so and did pretty good getting it to my front door. That's way more than I could have done with any other bike that I've owned unless riding it or walking it.

Today is the most perfect beach day... wish I had it ready to go there now tho am going to head out and take a walk .. the walking path (fairly new) is adjacent to the bike path where I walk I'll be looking at bikes flying by and thinking "that's me" as soon as I get the bike checked out and Ok'd!!!! Then I'm off to see what I can see and feel what I will feel (re the ride)!
