    On the seat mast - make sure you tighten the quick release. It shouldn't more until you release it, when you're ready to fold.

    Pretty bike I was between that color and the purple, and I got the purple...

    I do have dual drive. Good eye
    The seat mast is fine. The problem I was having with the seat is that it wouldn't stay at the angle I set it at. The seat post had a "hook" shaped piece of metal and a single screw to hold the seat on and in place. Except the screw was in a "neutral" position when the seat was tilted nose-up, and it kept wanting to return to that position. I replaced the seatpost with a Thompson one, that is much more stable. I just couldn't have my bike trying to throw me off like that!

    I was debating between raspberry and candy apple red. You see which one I chose

They ride very much like their big-wheeled sisters, I promise! I'm not the OP, but here's a pic of me not-quite-riding my Pocket Crusoe on a loaded tour a few years ago. Hopefully enough to get the idea...
    Thanks for the pic! I'm totally in awe of anyone who rides a bike with all that gear attached!

    I will post pics of me and the bike soon. Just gotta get my DH to take em. It does feel like a regular bike. It actually handles much better than my last bike. I would guess that's because this bike was actually fitted to me, where as the last one wasn't. And because this bike is about 5lb lighter than my old one.
