Got to RIDE today!
Man, it's been COLD, WINDY, GRAY, etc. lately so even though it was WINDY again, it was also 50+F and Sunny so I got in a local area ride and found the HILLS! Wanted to see just how hard it was to make the hills with my stock, 38 Tooth Chainwheel and 13x32 Freewheel. Not a bad as I thought it would be but I think I'll be saving (well after I get my wifes used TT-Cruiser out of layaway), for a Patterson 2-speed drive unit! 
I can make it up all the hills but I could really use some lower gearing! Stopped at the local park to take a photo, still trying to get USED to Clip-in Pedals, (RPIA so far).. The Sunseeker Eco-Tad is fun to ride but it's not happy if you "let it fly" down steep hills, had the Toe-In checked by the tech at Angletech here in C. Springs but it still feels "unstable" unless you control the downhill speeds!
