I have a Paddy Wagon as well that I use for commuting and I love it. The steel frame and 28c tires provide a nice smooth ride, yet still allow for some nice giddyup. I was so anxious to ride it the first week after I received it that I was taking it to and from work, a 20 mile round-trip, without a spare tube and I hit a bump that put a snake bite in the tube halfway home. It was a boring and embarrassing 5 mile walk home
