is this good for the occasional rider &amp; easy?

Yes it is. It's pretty simple to set up on the bike, just figure out placement and use the supplied zip ties to mount it. You hold down the left button to clear the current data and use the right button to flip through the different options. While riding I like to see my speed and distance, your speed is the large Zero in the picture. The bottom row of numbers switch between distance and time. I'm sure there are other options but I honestly didn't even pull out the instructions. Just mounted it and started riding :-)

The single speed is great if you do not have any big hills to go up and you are on a casual ride. As an out of shape middle ager when I bought my single speed, it got me quickly into shape. I opted for the 3-speed on my second bike because I do have some hills around here I and started using the bike to commute to work, making for a much easier ride first thing in the morning. Hope this helped a little.

I don't use my board daily, but i do use it often enough to know how good the board is. Its a little heavy and hard to turn because of the length of the board. but it is a smooth and safe ride all the way down any hill. I love this board, I hope this helps.

It rides smoothly and is good. I never had a problem with it. I def recommend buying it.

All I wanted was something simple to ride, not a lot of gadgets. This bike has been great for me. I have it in my living room, ride my 5 miles a day while watching tv. It is quiet so it does not disturb my husband while he watches. It tells me all I want to know...how far I went. It does have other things it monitors but all I want to know is about my mileage. Another thing, my grandchildren love it and ride it every time they are here. p.s. I am 67 and plan to ride it along time, I am very satisfied with it.

Component average quality. The main problem is the gear ratio. Cannot cycle to higher speed . Gear ratio too low. It's a beach cruiser and not a mountain bike. Not meant to cycle fast. The tyre spoke snap easily. The good part is independent cycling and easy to fold for storage.

Yes, for adults too. I'm 5'8" and ride daily. Believe it goes up to 180 or 200 lbs.

I think it's fine for occasional maintenance. It flexes a lot with heavy loads like torquing on and off pedals etc. be careful with clamping light road framesets. The cam on the clamp is large and can exert a great deal of pressure on the tubing. I close the clamp loosely and then tighten the handle to the proper pressure. Hope this helps.VeloDoc505

If the route is flat you're probably ok. I have the cruiser for riding around my neighborhood and hills are a little brutal with the single gear.

I would say that the bike is ok for a shorter ride like in your subdivision and maybe even a bike trail. However, having longer legs due to my height has made the longer bike rides a bit uncomfortable.

I love mine, but it depends more on personal fit, i.e., where your 'sit bones' are. This one is perfect for me, with the open design for the soft parts. It is very comfortable for the long rides.

like the bike a lot, should be OK for you, but I agree will not get you up a hill...you need more power...

I have a few. It's not the most heavy duty of them. The seems are not double stitched and the leather is not quite as thick as the others. I think it would take at least one good slide. I got a good deal on it ,it looks good, it's comfortable (make sure you buy one size up) and I use it on days that are above 50 degrees. If you plan on going down at 80 mph you might want something else.

Thanks so much! I am looking for something light weight and portable to use when traveling to keep good ROM in my stiff-after-knee-replacement knee. I use a stationary bike at home and hope this would do for short term use on the road. Would you agree that it would?

To be honest, I've not been ridden it much. If I should still answer your question... It's like a Hyundai Excel. It's cheap, not so good, not so bad, mediocre service... just right for the price. Hope I answered your question.

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.

yes, absolutely. I love the ease of getting on/off, the upright seating position, the overall aesthetics of a European-style bike. It is a bit heavy, so it may not be a good choice if you have to bring it up a flight of stairs.
