So far we've been out twice for some great little rides. Love these bikes, and the old school comfortable riding posture. Never did care much for ten speed styles, although I can appreciate their technology. Happy to report that bicycling does not in any way aggravate a crunchy old knee. In fact, it seems to help a might. Learned something else too regarding fellow cyclists and waving - other people on bicycles under the age of say, 40, do not want you to wave to them, even the subtle four fingers only with thumb still on the handle bar wave is way too much.
One will almost definitely get the "Quit being weird you old f'er" or "I ain't your 2 wheel-ed bro old man,
I just {can't afford / not old enough for} a car you half blind old a--hole" look if attempting to do so.
Lesson learned.
