Sofrider in Ottawa ON area
I had ordered a Sofrider 16 speed on Monday and it arrived today. A coworker and I put it together this evening and took it for some test rides around the parking lot at work. There is a learning curve, and I'm still on it, so I won't be able to help in the experience department, but I can offer you the opportunity to actually see the bike and to try it out. I may not have the handle bars optimally adjusted yet.
As you may have guessed, I'm conveniently located in Kanata. Is there a day/time that works for you in the next week?
