I ride what you guys call a couch, a cruiser, because my back just can't take the leaning forward. Sad to think most of my riding years are behind me now, but there was a day when I loved hill climbing and trail riding. Not so sure I am limber enough for that anymore either...lol. So I ride a cruiser, need a backrest, but hey, I am out riding, and that's what counts. If I was a younger man like most here I would probably have bikes from different style groups too.
