Just Keep Pedaling

So I have been wanting this bike for years (no joke) but did not purchase it because I did not want to be lugging it around every time we moved. The bike I'm talking about is the Citizen folding bike. I saw it on The View ; I think it was Father's Day gift ideas. I was like "I want that bike". So we (E & S) finally got our bikes on June 5th, a perfect early birthday present. :) :) Our birthday is June 10.

Unpacking
It has arrived! :)

Pedaling
I love that we can unfold our bikes in a matter of minutes. Less than two or even in one minute. It truly is easy. I don't have to buy a bike rack for the car. It fits in the backseat or in the trunk. Yesterday we biked along a canal on a multi-use pathway. I loved seeing people outside, enjoying themselves on bikes, walking, jogging, or/and running. There were couples, friends, families, and some cyclists training.

Cost
I would say that the total price is worth it. Honestly I wouldn't put a price on a bike. #Priceless! But let's talk numbers.... I got a lot of extras and upgraded the saddle bringing my total to a whopping $321.  Upgrades and options are extra plus the shipping fee (about $40). The base price for the (Miami) model we got is $199, there is a cheaper model (Tokyo) with 16" wheels instead of the 20" wheels.

Extras that I chose to get:
-Folding bike basket (I always wanted a bike with a basket)
-Water holder (comes with plastic water bottle)
-Carrying bag (perfect if/for traveling)
-Upgraded saddle (definitely comfortable)

This is my bike! Got my green! :P -S
