I bought one at the beginning of the summer and have used most days for just getting around, going to and from, and one of the best things is that there are very nobly tires supplied and as the whole bike is designed to go off-road, it does it very well and aslo on-road is very good. I have a pair of shimano clipp-les on one side flat on the other so i can (follow link to see what i mean http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/nl/index/products/pedals/mountain/product.-code-PD-M324.-type-pd_mountain.html) therefore i can use them with or without my specalist cycling shoes
