I had a great first real ride today on my Curve. It is a fun bike, and I think it performs well for what it is. However, by the end of my journey I could no longer access 1st gear. The bike came with an information sheet on the Sturmey Archer. I'm going to try and follow that. I'm going outside to snap a couple of pictures and I will upload them soon.

I'm glad to finally have my bike and some decent weather to go with it.
