  Realize that with the upright sitting position, I'm causing more wind drag then I need to. However, I

  I have a 7 month old Schwinn. With the tires that are on it, I think it is more a road bike then anything

  Went to ride my bike Friday and rear tire was flat. Turned compressor on but tire won't stay inflated.

  Only once have I had a problem with vehicles. It was on a two lane road with stable crushed stone
