Yes, a good amount. I don't have the same sensitive bits issue, although I would still rather not get whacked there.....

I am finding the lack of front suspension something I need to get used to -my wrists and elbows were really jarring on the bumpy pavement today, but I really don't need to hold on so rigidly to maintain control, so I think I can adapt. It was perfect bike weather, warm and sunny but not hot and humid. Wheeeee!

And I loved coasting with no hands -I'm such a big kid.
