I just had this bike refurbished (new tires, new seat), and it's ready to ride. It's good for city riding for a taller rider (I'm 6' 2"). It's heavier than my road bike, but also a little more rugged. The pedals have platforms on one side and clips on the other. I work in an office M-F, so it's not a bad idea to reach out to me first to make sure your preferred pick up and drop off times work for both of us.
