true. I have 2 birdys and i leave the frog at work to do neighbourhood errands. My boss used to hum circus music when he saw it, but on the street I get a lot of "slick", "cool" "cute" comments. A lot of fun to ride, as the suspension is very comfortable(even more comfortable than the birdys), but not great for a ride of any length longer than 10-15 min. but perfect for quick stops at bank, shops etc.
