ok, so I'll have to deal with it being a little slower until I build some more "strength". Not terrible and the bike is pretty comfortable with the stock seat, handlebars and frame... I am actually kind of impressed with the bike as it is so inexpensive... I am a bit jealous of cig though with the speed he is able to push on the bike...
