Fredwina gets bent?

[evangundy]

You will like this one, Fredwina. I have a blue Giro 20 that is my commuter (when I bike commute). It is a great workhorse the way mine is set up; wider tires, big bag off the back of the seat, headlight mounted up front. I thought I had a picture but I don't - I'll have to do that and post it.

I like the Giro because with the smaller front wheel, you can actually put your foot down at a stop (not just a tipey-toe) without having to sit up completely.

You'll want to get yourself a mirror too - doesn't matter where you put it, helmet or glasses, but you can't just turn your head to see what's behind you - without a mirror you have to sit up and turn your head and body to look back. A mirror means you just turn your head so slightly, either left or right, and you can see everything back there.

If you have any bent related questions, I'll be happy to answer if I can. A very good resource is www.bentrideronline.com - the people on their message board/forums are very much like the people here on TE. Once you post and say hi and ask your first question or make your first comment, you are part of the family.
