Bents met on the road
Jan 27th, 2008, 7:37pm
 
While riding through Mesquite to the GDB ride this afternoon, I happened upon a woman with an EZ-Sport stopped at a street corner, that had a dalmatian dog in tow (as such)...  I stopped to say hello, and found out she's a friend of Steve Switzer's -- Leslie.  
 

 
She doesn't ride a LOT at the moment, but loves the comfort of the EZSport.  As you can see, she was in regular tennis shoes, and "regular" exercise clothes, and without a helmet, but did have a handlebar mirror.  And she apparently only rides on the sidewalk, which is another reason she had the dog in tow.
 
She let me ride the EZSport for a minute, just to compare it to our EZ1 - there really IS a big difference in the ride and the steering stability from that 20" front wheel and 26" rear....  I spent a couple moments straightening out her handlebars (minor tweak), said thanks, and went on my way, after telling her about this discussion board.  I hope she visits...

I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.
