Thank you Clay & briderdt. I know that “first bike” doesn’t mean “last bike”, but I want to make the right decision. Getting a bad bike (damaged, wrecked, etc.) could make learning harder and turn me off the sport altogether, not to mention being possibly hazardous to my health. My wife knows someone who’s husband has a lot of experience, so I may ask him to tag along for a second opinion. If I don’t go for this one, there’s always another one waiting for me somewhere.
