Negative. I would happily fill my tank for less than $120 and take a road trip to Coos Bay, OR.

Good luck with the bike and let us know how it goes. I think you might have fun doing some of these things and then presenting the results to your team (pros and cons, what you did and did not like, etc.):

1. picking a route and doing it on both a regular bike and on your product
2. using the folding capabilities and taking the bike on a shopping or other trip using public transit part of the way
3. using the bike for errands, shopping, etc.
4. seeing if you feel more fit, lose weight, or get faster after riding for a month

Good luck!
