Strengths: Sturdy; mine sits out all the time in all weather and takes it! The flat foot technology makes riding effortless. I love the coaster/hand brake option. She can carry three bags of heavy groceries and still steer.Weaknesses: The middle fabric in the seat allows moisture it. I have to cover the seat with a shower cap over night.Bottom Line: This the best bike I have ever owned! After three years it needed absolutely nothing in the tune-up and when I rented a loaner Raleigh I could hardly ride it. The pedals felt like they were in back of me! This bike is great around town!

Strengths: Comfort, easy to ride, fits most anybody for realWeaknesses: I would prefer a freewheeling hub with a rear v-brakeBottom Line: I just picked up my 2008 Townie 3 and love it more than any bike I have ever owned. This is the most comfortable and easy to ride bike I have had. I got the 3 speed model because I like the simplicty and clean looks of a single cog drivetrain. I also don't want anything to do with a suspension fork. The laid back position allows me to relax and enjoy the ride. I am considering selling my mountain bike because it is not comfortable compared to this.

Strengths: Size adjustments
Feels like a lazyboy w\wheels
Weaknesses: Comes with no reflectors or anything, and in my town its a law that you need at least frontand rear reflector.
No other problems yetBottom Line: My townie is acctually any 08 but i purchased it just for joy riding and to start exercising more. I am 6'5" and any ex offensive lineman colegate and it hard for me to find a bike that was comortable, and could support my weight At 375 lbs. The townie is the only bike i found that i didnt look like a bear on a little kids bike at the circus.
