This is the best commuting bike. I have modified the seat for comfort and I have added a CalSci windscreen to make this the most pleasant ride out there. At 397 pounds this bike is easily maneuvered through traffic, up a dirt road and all points in between. An upright sitting position keeps you comfortable and the windscreen works very well and will keep you dry in the rain. I have just lost my job and I am forced to sell. My loss is your gain.
