Hi Surlygirl and Lifesgreat

I found a cruiser that has a heavy wide frame and is aluminum so light I can pick it up all by myself to load. It has a deep stepthrough frame and was so affordable. Now, if the weather would get back to warmer temps, I can ride it. Decided not to invest too much initially and to get something simple that I don't have to worry about shifting. Thanks so much for the advice. Sure are a bunch of neat gals in this forum!
