Growing up on the Lower East Side of NYC, my first experience with bike riding was on a ten speed bike that belonged to my brother's super tall buddy and in tiny broken glass and garbage strewn "park" when I was 17. Needless to say, it was not a fun experience. So, when we got our first batch of bicycles at carbon(-), I was a bit nervous. But the moment I got on the Electra Amsterdam, I finally got that, "Whee, this is fun!" feeling. Not only did the bike fit me (finally), but it was a breeze to ride. The fact that I didn't have to worry about my trench getting caught in the wheels or getting dirty from road spatter was great. Can't wait to ride it all summer!
