Lately I've been seeing a few rad riders on Divvys just like Willie, hopping, jumping off curbs...

wow... im impressed.  Those things weigh a ton.  Maybe i'm not used to the more upright position but they also felt more unstable than my normal ride.

center of gravity change does take some getting used to.  when i converted my downhill mtb to an upright commutie, the front became a bit squirmier.  i got it under control now tho.

I hate being that guy but I like Divvy and don't want to ride a beat up bike. His tricks are cool, esp considering the weight of the bike, but he's going to mess it up for the next riders. Not cool.

Agreed, some bikes are starting to show up at the docks with scuffed up brake levers lately. It's going to be curious to see how well they can hold up through their first winter with the salt and all.

I hope they don't beat the crap out of the bikes too soon.  They really were meant for transportation, not playtime.
