I just got my Mini, and rode all over Inwood/Wash Hgts with it. Discovered a basically undeveloped part of the river front, no roads, no sidewalks, nothing.
The bike rocks! BUT. Unfortunately it's still too large to do what I was hoping to do: put it in my locker at Columbia's library. So, I'm going to have to lock it outside after all - got a nice fat Bulldog, should do the job. But as long as I'm leaving it outside at school (not at home), should I just get the IX?
The mini is awesome, but, being mini, it's too small sometimes. I did get a couple of wheelie-feeling moments - but remember that Inwood's terribly steep in places. Also, I don't like the rear suspension. Or, should I say, I LOVE it most of the time, but sometimes when starting up a hill it makes me bounce around on the seat, and i feel stupid.
So, I think maybe I should try the IX or something. Do you think I can return my mini and buy a big one?
