forgot the standing thing

Standing is totally easy to do on the dynamic/street geometry. I did not find it at all "circus trick" like. It was a piece of cake. Its especially easy to do the over the seat butt hang that i find particularly critical to off road riding. I think I road my moutain bike with my butt just over the seat rather than on it all the time so it was fun to get in that position.

I have a feeling that the dynamik with the off road package would be more than trail worthy. There were none to ride but i did move the street around a bit and the geometry of that bike would lend itself to off road riding.

As far as standing to climb, I guess that it is doable but i did not see any reason to. The handle bar pull and body position seated makes climbing very easy. I did not even try it as I thought that it was effort exerted for no reason as i was flying up any hills i could find.

I have seen a lot of posts on BROL on this standing issue where people found it a difficult, not sure why anyone would find that hard. Ya just .. stand up. voila! Starting a bent going up hill... now THAT was hard..

but i did it by the end of the day.
