its actually not as hard to ride as i thought it would be. i even rode across the bridge which gave me quite the work out but i was able to do it and it wasnt too bad. i figure putting that much money into a bike that many bike experts consider a "beater bike" might be a waste of money. so instead ive decided to just ride this bike til it falls apart and save up money for a better model in the process.
