I went for my first ride on it today. I don't think it's as easy going up hills as it is on my road bikes and I will need to change the saddle (too soft for my manly buttocks). I've got to go to the city on Sunday so I will take it for a ride along the coast and see the reaction of the ''take myself too seriously on my $4000 proper bike cyclists'' (there are a lot of them down there) when I over take them.
