I’m not an avid cyclist, and I found the inability to make inclines easier a no-go. I’m into electric assist though, but that increases bike price. I see quite a few used ones for sale tho.

Only ride on flat trails?

They also double dip on the other side, the amount they charge is not always the amount you click on. Several times they add a few bucks and you have to go thru hoops to get it back, most wouldn’t bother. But it would add up over a lot of accounts. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a class action spring up, no way it was just happening to me.
