I ride this everywhere. I have never had problems with it.&nbsp; i like it&nbsp; and just want to keep it."&nbsp;  he lost the front fender and we found a new front wheel. cost him twenty bucks and he is back on the road.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Happy rollin<br><br><br>Jim<br><br><b><i>Michael Wolfe &lt;gzuphoesdown@gmail.com&gt;</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div>I like
