I just got my new bike the other day and it is awesome! The brakes work, which is a big difference from my other bike. I rode about 5 miles yesterday and it was easy! It is definitely a bigger bike, and it feels like it was custom made for me. But it wasn't. But it feels that way. But it's not. We have a huge hill right next to our house those of you that have been to our house before no how big it is. Riding up that thing is much easier now, and I even did it twice in a row! Another plus is that the bike's colors are cool too. It is mainly orange with some dark grey highlights and stuff. It looks sick.
