My daughter and I just got our keys today. The bikes work great, are very solid, and the three speed Nexus shifters seem appropriate for these bikes. Because we live in Crystal City we look forward to using these bikes frequently over the next year. I do wonder how the bikes will be protected from the winter weather as at the stations I’ve visited there is no shelter from precipitation and high wind. There are some areas that would provide better shelter from weather, such as under highway overpasses.
