Thanks for the honesty! I think driving 40 mins to check it out made me irrationally buy it. I'll ride it for an hour and see how I feel then.
Do you have any tips for what to look out for? (like what parts of my body should or shouldn't ache) My back was a bit tired after testing it out for 15 mins but I chalked it up to the seat being raised and not having ridden a bike since March.
