This Bike was one of two top rated bikes from an independant rating company.The one minor complaint is that the manufacture of the bike failed to include a Kickstand. Due to the design of the frame, a universally obtained kickstand would not fit the frame. Since this is a comfort bike, a kickstand is a desirable feature. The manufacture should make one available to fit the frame design of this bike. My O/L research was to no avail.

I'm overweight, enough that I've found walking over long distances painful. I walk to gain stamina. Found this bike while just casually looking, great price so I bought it. Arrived rapidly and the small amount of assembly required is minimal, mount front wheel, seat, pedals and inflate tires. Now riding 5 miles Daily without hip pain. Still Walking as well. Gear Ratios are wide with the 7 speed derailler and 3 speed hub. Only gripe is Tires are lightweight and thin. Had a flat first week I had it, replaced plain lightweight tube with a Self Sealing Tube. So far so good. Oh and I wear a helmet and gloves.

Delivered quickly and only required small amount of assembly. My wife wanted a more comfortable bike than her mountain bike. Seating position is more upright, the unisex design allows her to more easily step down and get on the bike. Need a removable cross bar for most car racks. Seat is comfortable but we bought the pillow top - seat comfort was a negative on our Specialized mountain bikes. Absence of front derailer helps avoid getting pants stuck, but the rear internal 3 speed does add some weight. Lots of innovations on this bike including type rear m suspension. Can use a seat post rack but cannot use a rear frame type (ala Topeak explorer.
