Unfortunately I have to do a lot of riding on a 2 lane highway with no shoulder.

While, yes, many times in the city I'll ride like this graphic, I don't at all feel safe doing this on the two lane. I pretty much just assume everyone is on their phone.. well because they are. So even if there's oncoming traffic, as well as traffic behind me, I stay as far right as I can, and keep an eye on them in my mirror. I don't feel like getting smashed into by someone doing 60mph just because I wanted to assert my rights as a cyclist.

Sometimes they wait for the oncoming traffic to pass, sometimes they fly by. But being way over to the right and watching them closely in my mirror gives me a chance to bail if it seems like they don't see me.

Anyways I mainly said all this so I could recommend this mirror to everyone (good for drop and flat bars):

BY FAR the best mirror I've used. Mounts very securely, high quality glass, not ugly, and tough. I can't ride without one now.

That’s the mirror I am using on the bike. It still folds and rolls in cart mode with it on. I do think the rack is worth it despite the weight.

I’ll have the bike a year in September and while I have bought some accessories I haven’t splurged in any upgrades as of yet. I would consider upgrading to a pedal that has better traction or adding the plastic sleeve to it others have mentioned on the forums. Titanium seat post might make sense for a little more suspension.

I’m very happy with the bike. It’s my primary transportation. I’ll consider getting an electric brompton this fall,once I test drive it. I’ll likely keep this one and not sell it even though my dealer would take it on trade.

Haven’t had any repair or maintenance issues. It even a flat tire. (Knock on wood)

My plan once I’ve had it a year is to take it in and have new tires and new cables put on to refresh the bike a bit. I’ll replace the chain and that’s about it.

Hope that helps you in your decision.
