Hi folks, newbee here...I am a senior big guy with little space in apt and modest budget...I want a small and durable bike which will handle my weight and size for local mostly on street or sidewalk rides in my small town..The Zizzo Forte seems to fit the bill so I ordered one to try out...I did have a big box cruse bike that someone gave me but it was horrible even after changing out the seat, brakes and cables..so I regifted it to a guy who works on bikes for giving to kids...Hope the Forte works for me even though I may look a little silly riding it around (don't care) as long as I manage it...Also, there is a fairly near rail trail I may visit for just short rides and a prairie nature park with a crushed concrete bike trail...Happy to join this community, please be gentle, I did not have the funds for a three times more Brompton folding bike which everyone loves...next best choice for me...
