I agree,most of the complaints in this thread are put on how heavy the bike is ,not the riders lack of physical conditoning. A few minutes spent lifting the folder from floor to chest height, done correctly two or three times a week can make a big difference over a period of time.I would suggest first learning proper form how to do weight training to avoid any injuries, it's not that difficult and let's be honest ,it's only about 30lb.Who knows you might get to enjoy it.
