    See this page of me getting started last January one last time
before I change it. Just pictures and a little blurb. Since then I've
put riser bars on and raised them to get them away from my knees. I can
come out of the saddle a lot easier now. With just my 20lb bag I can
pick the front wheel over a curb and clear an 18 inch trench. Hydraulic
brakes are KILLER! The bike is rated at 200lbs capacity but I know I've
had 250-275lbs. Only use 1st gear on sidewalks (that's a rule). Width is
25 inch up front where you can watch it. Great for slicing through
traffic. Love it! I work for four companies. Two companies get me about
one run each a week and the other two get me about ten and four runs a
day for a total of about $400-450 a week. I work from 9:30-5:00 and
spend about 3 hours throughout the day waiting for work at home. So I
guess I actually work about 5 hours a day. A 12X12 foot sheet of plastic
folded to 1 ft. sq. is ready to keep anything dry whatever the size.
After 8 months I'm still loving it. It makes me feel...superior.
Especially when I wear my ONE LESS CAR T-shirt.
