Instead of you working so hard to keep up with your son, maybe he should adjust his pace [or get a Friday] so he can keep up with you.
For me, 7 more pounds would make hefting it up Bart stairs much more difficult so I would not want to leave it set up all the time. And, at 67, I'm happy my adult son is willing to ride with me and hang out with me at all, so I don't mind making an adjustment =). I really wanted the ShareRoller (because it can just simply be popped off into my backpack for carrying) but doesn't seem like he's coming out with version 4.
