I've not been off road yet, but I do go out for a raz in my lunch break around the country lanes....Also the novelty factor is still very much there when I'm first away at the traffic lights : )
It was a doddle going up hills with the kids in the trailer, they loved the acceleration too, or though I had to remember not to brake harshly as they almost came out of the thing : )
I just bought the exact same bike yesterday : ) So far it looks and performs absolutely brilliantly... Got it as a commuting bike but I predict ill do alot more than that on it! Could you send me a link for the bike stand you have please ?
