Thank you. I do try :-)
Yes, I’m very pleased with mine. Initially I did find it very rigid and bordering on uncomfortable. To some degree it was probably just more noticeable to me by comparison, as I was previously riding a borrowed Townie 21 speed bike which is all about comfort, suspension forks, seat post and very upright riding position. If you’re used to a commuter or road type of bike it’s likely not significantly different.
With the riser bars, a softer padded seat and a little less air in the tires it’s significantly improved. There’s really not much more you can do in terms of comfort as it doesn’t seem possible to add wider tires or any form of suspension, unless anyone makes a suspension seat post that was long enough and the right diameter.
It’s fair to say the bike it pretty rigid. It’s never going to be a beach cruiser, but it’s pretty comfortable as long as the surface is fairly smooth. I just ride for pleasure, nothing competitive or hardcore at all. I can cover decent distances without too much pedaling effort and without being uncomfortable. It’s about the right compromise of speed and comfort for me regardless of being a folder. The ability to fold it and throw it in the trunk of the car or take it with me pretty much anywhere is the icing on the cake.
