    I like it but since I removed my passenger seat I use that door to walk in and out of all the time.

    Yeah, I could, but keeping it clean isn't hard. I could keep it inside, but in all honesty, the harder it is to access, the less it will get used.

    That's my thought exactly. I quit carrying one because even the 5 minutes it took me to get it down, lube it up, grab helmet etc. and go was more than I usually want to spend. I'd rather just walk usually when I've been captive in a truck for a few days. I've walked 15 miles in a day on a 34 just to not be in the truck.

    I've given those some thought, however, a couple issues come up with those, you are much lower to the ground, and more easily not seen, the wide front can cause some problems on any trails, and I suffer from hemorrhoids, and the pedaling action will still aggravate them. As mentioned, a bit pricey at over $3grand. I could have an E-bike for half that. I live in a town that biking is big, yet, I've only seen maybe one of those. Perhaps in a gated retirement community, but not here.

    Same. I use mine quite a bit, but not as much as I could. I'm not gonna ride in any cities. I usually don't have much time, so i'm trying to get in a good workout in a short time. So I usually run, or hike with a sandbag.

    Weekends off though, with some cool trails around? I'm getting some miles in
