Tightwad, In reviewing your suggestion my wife and i came up with some questions. We dont want the work environment per see but we want to be able to cruise the roads and trails we do find. With the three speed bike in the workman brand do you find you get tired pedaling like you do in a coaster bike? Or can you zip along enjoying nature without the need for oxeygen? Thanks for the info ill check into it. Peabob
