with a large pannier rear rack pack, i have little trouble hauling around up to 50 lbs of gear or groceries, a smaller pack would probably work for what you want to do as well.I will warn you, unless your 5'10" or taller, this bike might be a little too big for you.

I am 70 and do exactly that. I bungie cord a plastic basket on the back and carry milk etc 4 miles one way from the grocery store. The 21 speeds are great because I ride into the wind and ride back in much higher gear. It came mostly assembled and needed no adjustment. Keep the tires at 60 PSI and it flies and will outrun a younger person with balloon tires. I have had it for 1 1/2 years and ride it everywhere. Do change the seat to a cloud 9 one for comfort. Get it you won't regret it.

Yes. This bike was a Christmas gift to my Mother-in-Law, and she absolutely loves it!!!

Honestly yes I think it is. Maybe best for someone under 5'7. But it's a great bike. I've had offers from strangers trying to buy it from me.

Thank you for the inquiry. Our customers are always sending us pictures of what they carry on our racks. Ranging from musical instruments to fishing gear. So, the answer is probably yes! You may need to get a little creative with the bungee strapping system. Regards, Bike Balance

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.

It's enough for 'Me'. It really depends on where a persons fitness level is. Specifying that you like a LOT of resistance, 'you' may want more, to be on the safe side. But again, 8 is a lot of resistance on this bike.

Seems that this bike is lightweight, relatively strong, can carry things on the rear fender, has fenders to help keep you dry... you may want a more comfortable seat... after that it is up to you.. I do 7-10 miles at a time, couple of times a week, for exercise, on a bike path... might want to get a bell or a horn as well...

I am not sure. I use my bike to get a good workout and good sweat. You might have to look into seperate apps for that.

The short answer is yes. If you have a set of hand tools and can follow directions you shouldn't have a problem. The bike is worth it.

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.

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.

Excellent for that! My 11 year old rides his bike all over the neighborhood. I personally find the bike to be of excellent quality.

yes, there are a couple of hills in town that have to be used to get back home. My three-speed works fine for me. A friend of mine loved the bike so much she bought one, but with 5 speeds. I love this bike, you won't regret buying it.

Yes a 52cm bike would likely be a nice fit for you. You could always head to your local bike shop and have them measure you and advise you on the perfect size road bike for you.

You may try but this would be more appropriate for someone around less than 6 feet and weighing around 80kg. You may look for something more sturdy for a comfortable ride. I would suggest Diamondback 2013 Overdrive V 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels, expensive but worth it.

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

It's probably better suited for long distance riding than mountain, but if your going that far daily you might want to look for more of a road bike. I hope that helps.
