No pictures of the bike, but much praise. Have ridden since first tricycle at five, raced in my 40s and 50s, time trials in my 70s, two Aids Lifecycle rides SF to LA in the mid-2000s, still ride at least 10-15 hours/week in hilly country on standard bikes. Didn't want to put a bike on the car roof for a 4000+ mile trip, so researched and bought an Urbano. Checked it out before the trip duplicating 15-25 mile rides usually done on big bikes; bike fit under the back cover of our station wagon. On the trip rode all kinds of terrain in Nova Scotia, CT, MA, NH, and in the Adirondacks, which are very hilly, and where some rides were 3-4 hours. Zero problems - did shake the rear magnet loose, which Euromini immediately replaced. Very stable - excellent shifter, gear range, and brakes. Low gear not quite as low as triple-chainrings on the big bikes, but low enough for all but the most killer-hills. Requires a little bit more steering attention at speed, but otherwise, INCREDIBLE. One of the best investments I've made.
