i would never ride my bike into downtowne cleveland during rush hr..plus its an hr away and it would be hard to strap tools lunchboxes and water jugs on it. your problem was you were cruising..i wakeboard, wakeskate, ski, and barefoot..only cruising is when im wakeskating doing about 17mph. if im not doing these im parked partying at the landing.im sorry but nothing beats 10-20 boats tied up partying. nothing. but like assholes we all have diffrent opinions on whats fun. plus my boat is no more than 1000 yards away from my house, on a lift , ready to go. after racing dirt my whole life i had to get some type of a bike.this year im gonna save some cash and buy some real nice track shit and maybe start racing these machines.thats my ideal plan anyways:)
