Wow - had a blast my first real day of dummy riding. Picked up a friend from work and we rode around taking care of some errands. The dummy was pretty easy to handle with a passenger in rush hour traffic - easier than I expected. I eventually dropped her off at home and went to collect another friend for dinner and a movie. It was really nice to be able to talk to someone while riding and far more sociable than going for a ride with someone else.

The Rohloff continues to impress - especially when you are at the bottom of a steep hill in the wrong gear with a passenger. So easy to just shift standing still.

My passengers had fun and one of them has already ordered an Xtracycle for her MTB.

BTW - the H-bars are awesome. I'm really glad I gave them a try...

Looking forward to more Big Dummy adventures tomorrow...
