Hi, all, my name's Teri and I'm in South Jersey (right across from Phila). I just ordered a RadCity Step-Thru, which won't get here till late June, apparently. I'm in my early 60s, in good health but terrible shape in terms of exercise. Working from home hasn't been much of a change for me--I've worked remotely for over 8 years--but I at least used to enjoy getting out to travel and go to shows/concerts. I'm now finding myself pretty much glued to the sofa and need some exercise (and fun!).
I used to enjoy biking in my youth but it's probably been 30-35 years since I've ridden, and the terrain around here is hillier than I'd be inclined to struggle with. I just sort of stumbled on a video for the Rad Power Bikes, and after researching it, finally decided to go for it. There are some great places to ride around here--especially if I don't have to sweat the hills.
My brain sort of glazes over when I read about all the technical stuff, so there will be a bit of a learning curve there. I'm glad to find this forum where I can ask questions. I already got a quote from a local bike shop for assembly ($150), so I've got that covered. I ordered a few accessories and those are already shipped. I guess one thing we are all learning from the current experience is patience (hopefully!), so I'll just have to live vicariously through you nice people while I wait for my new toy.
