Why not reasonably good? I guess the previous bikes I've had were really bad... I'm really impressed that the gears always work, I think it's lightweight and sturdy, and it's a pleasure to ride in general, though I wish the pedals were somehow higher. Btw, I am not trying to criticise, but I might just go ahead and buy a new bike if I definitely do the trip and I think it'll make the experience considerably better.

It's a "town and trail" bike and has 1.5 inch tyres (I think -- they are definitely not the mtb type with the treads but relatively flat-surfaced)
