Better Bike Than My Previous Dahon
I’m age 72 and I weigh 255 lbs. The Loop’s weight limit is stated as 230 lbs. Previously, I owned a Dahon folding bike.
The bike arrived undamaged. It was expertly packed. And I only had to cut three cords to easily remove the bike from the box.
Unlike the Dahon, the Loop is solidly built; bumpy terrain is not a jarring experience; the seat is not too close to the handlebars; and last night I rode several miles on the Gateway Trail to Lake Phalen without getting a back pain.
The Loop handles quite similar to my full-sized bike.
To activate the warranty and for safety, before the first ride, the purchaser is required to have the bike adjusted by an authorized bike mechanic. I cheered when I read this requirement and I rushed my Loop to my bike shop.
I also bought the Sunlight mesh basket and the Sunlite Cloud 9 comfort seat. Both products are well made. In my twilight years, my bony ass deserves only the best.
