I bought it because I liked how it looks. It's ok to ride too, weighing only slightly more than Portugal. Needs a bit of tlc.

I know Portugal is a small country, but it can't be that lightweight

no wonder the fleas were selling that, there's no way something that small could ride a bike.

Americans will do anything to avoid using metric

a flea sold this bike to you?

[–] Pirtatogna@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No I'm pretty sure it was a person (without fleas). Or a flea with a really good human costume.

Flea market is something akin to a second hand store / goodwill / yard sale in europe.

shouldve taken out a vial to blood to test for fleas in human costumes dam it

Looks mad comfy. I like a coaster brake. Great bike for shopping and short trips

[–] Pirtatogna@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, 100% For longer trips I have other bikes, but they're all single speed or fixed gear. I'm a simple man, so I'm into simple things and dislike mechanical complexity of derailleurs and such. To be honest I'm not sure that even freewheel is such a great invention... ;P

Spoken like a person who lives somewhere flat.

[–] Pirtatogna@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Well not completely flat, we have some decent hills, but granted they're not mountains.
