He had a hard time coming back on your bike?
Maybe you should surprise him with a nice new city hybrid of his own. You know....
Something MANLY!!!
The GT Transeo Disc 3.0
~$700
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.

And I do understand the fitting issue that many of the guys described earlier. My bike obviously does not fit him. ...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.

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
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 coming home on your bike."
Bottom line is that he owes me one.

I can't believe this thread just emerged from the dead. I thought we all killed it off a few days ago. Can we have some more comments about the Buddha?
