This thing is HEAVY! I think the bicycle is 35lbs on its own. I think im 70lbs loaded. Unless you count my fat behind...LOL
If you live on near the trail and wish to join me, I'm going to post a YouTube short of where I'll be the NEXT day. Come along for the ride. Feel free to email me also if you're up for a few miles. I'm leaving the Cinci area Saturday AM and heading north!
