That's what I was thinking too. If I didn't know the bike initially had a $150.00 price tag, I would have thought $250.00 was an outstanding deal. Congratulations.

Once you get over the anxiety of clipping your push off foot into the pedal as you start out, you'll be fine, Too high of a gear and you can't get launched, too low of a gear and you won't go fast enough to balance as you get clipped in.
