Black is hard to find. You may need to have a UK online retailer import one for you. It sure is what I would want if I was buying an affordable Hybrid right now.

I think this thread is Hilarious personally. It reminds me of a joke with a Daoist monk and a Buddhist monk.... Maybe you've heard it...

Remember the Monty Python, where everyone was Superman, and the bike repair guy was the superhero?

I hate riding a bike that isn't perfectly adjusted for me. 99% of beach cruisers are not setup for proper leg extension.

Tell him to HTFU cuz when the apocalypse comes, if he can't keep up w/ you, you won't think twice about leaving him behind for the zombies to snack on.

I love him because he's a really sweet and intelligent guy (aside from the bike issue). He just won't go anywhere over 1/4 mile without a car, though. Tomorrow, I have to drive him back from his car mechanic drop-off, which is less than 2 miles away. There's a city bus that runs down the street, and there are places to pedal.

Meanwhile, I rode my Beach Cruiser 15 miles from work when my car was in the shop earlier this year. It didn't even occur to me to ask him for a ride.

I probably shouldn't enable him, but he got so emotional :twitchy: the last time he had to ride back on my bike from the mechanic. It was under a mile on a MUP, and he kept saying, "I just had a really hard time :twitchy: coming home on your bike."

Bottom line is that he owes me one. :notamused:

Your BF is a wimp, and you probably won't change that. Either love him for his good points and overlook his wussiness, or find a new one.

...I'm thinking that if he got a simple E-bike with a decent fit, he'd be really happy on short commutes. Of course, I'd ask him if he really wanted it before gifting it to him or anything. No point in a wasted bike.
