lmao tandems
so the cranks are both fixed together right?
you could end up putting in more effort than being the only one pedalling if one of you is softpedalling hard like a lazycunt and not putting out watts and you both HAVE to do the same cadence

Oh yeah Lakewood Ranch is the perfect mix of wealthy parents, bored kids, and sweet sweet opiates.

Guarantee this is a young chelloveck who's deep into a comfy blanket of dopamine bliss and wants to sell the bike his parents got him to "fit in with the other bike bois at school" for as many blue pills as possible.

>implying I have 2 friends who wouldn't call me a faggot immediately upon seeing that monstrosity

By the way I've been /nobike my entire life I'd like something easy to fix, ride, and operate for a noob

normie bike brands do that because normies just read "it needs 105" on reddit and then go buy the first thing that has 105 anywhere on it

for me, it's this, all day. A really lovely bike and will make a truely top tier sidewalk comfyboy (capable of a lot more too) with a few simple mawds. Tree Fiddy is more fair on price though. You couldn't ask for much better.

shitty versions of above which may or may not fit you but could be worse

like he says, really rather a good deal on quite a nice old road bike if you want a project and something speedy

note on that bianchi. You might feel it is too long for you. I would still buy it and just put some swept back cruiser bars on it like pic related. That will reduce the reach (and turn it more into a comfy cruiser than a trail bike)

The only 'too big' factor would be if you can't stand over the top tube without your balls/pussy being squished.

tandem road bikes from the 80s are basically the perfect bike for riding down two miles of sidewalk. I say go for it
