Thirty-two pounds would definitely be way too heavy for my mom
It would be heavy for me and I'm a lot stronger than she is. I am not sure how heavy her current bike is. I was hoping for something more like 25 pounds....gosh, that seems sort of unrealistic. I think that's what my road bike might weigh... She would need to be able to retrieve it from storage (possibly hung up somewhere).
I wonder if a nice mixte might suit her well....
If the bike does not end up being light steel, then I'm guessing it will end up being aluminum to reduce the weight.
This is a lot more difficult than I anticipated
