I'm in downtown Phoenix. UA-College of Med. Near the Chase building.
Life is looking up. I have access to the lab finally (got that about 5 minutes ago) so I can leave to go to the bathroom by myself. And-- I got the bike!

I was worried because it's 52 cm which is 20". I ride a 17"! That's a huge difference. I thought the handlebar reach would be awful and I had him move the seat forward. I was surprised--I actually feel just a little cramped and tomorrow I'll move the seat back a bit (I'm supposed to go pick up a flat kit & multitool).

I've ridden it all of 6 blocks maybe. Even in flat Phoenix, I'm not sure about riding a single speed! Well, it's not horrible, and I'll probably get used to it, and I'm glad I will have had the experience. I think I'd choose a lower gear ratio though. It's weird starting up from a stop and having to push so hard. Then it's comfortable, but on a geared bike I'd still be in a lower gear ratio.
