I'm sorry to hear that Nermal! I hope you make a full recovery. The other one I considered was the Day 6 Dream and that has even better step through clearance than the Townie. You can get them for about $450 on craiglist around here. Similar crank forward, flat foot type of ride. Check it out! The only reason I picked up the Townie again is I was able to get it at a better price.
