Thank you!
I love my MU P24! It is very good on varied roads with its 24 speeds, and I take it on the subway without any problems. I started using it for multi-mode but ended up riding all the way for most of my appointments.
I commute to work about 7km daily each way and I also ride the P24 to meetings as far as 24km away. No problems. When it rains, I fold it up and take a public bus or the subway.
Some find the rear wheel a little heavy (cos of the Dual Drive hub) but I don't feel it much. I already load the rack with my trunk bag or pannier, so I am used to having weight on the rear wheel anyway.
I have a Curve too, and it is slightly smaller. Sometimes in a crowded train, it does make a slight difference but with 3-speeds only, the Curve is not that suited for long hilly rides. So it is a trade off.
The P24 is the bike I ride most often out of my three bikes. It is a workhorse and very versatile.
