SteveKB, I like red. It does standout when you are on the road. Only other color available was black. I do local riding around the neighborhood. I talked my wife into riding with me. It has been a few years since she has been on a bicycle. We do a few miles around the area. When she feels comfortable, there is a nice bike trail not fair from our home that we will try one day. Also, there is a trail on a main road that is nice and flat. We can ride to a few stores that are a few miles from our home.
