The step-over geometry of the Jamis Coda S3 Step-Over makes it really easy to get on and off. The bike is really great if you'll be riding with a baby seat on the back. It's a fun bike for riding around town, on the lakefront path or for errands. We also like this bike a lot for students. It's not super fancy, it's just a fun, solid ride. It can be accessorized with a rack, kickstand and bell to make it even more practical. This bike can do a lot but if you'll be putting in a lot of miles the component upgrades on the Coda S2 might be worth considering. You're welcome to swing by for a test-ride.
