i'm 5'9" at 200lb. i find myself getting a bit cramped after about 50 minutes in the saddle. bike isn't well suited for 2 up riding (regardless of weight) but your mileage may vary. after a while riding your skoot you won't really worry much about other people laughing (particularly if you think a second about what they prolly paid for their ride). i don't normally park on the sidewalk (just try to take up less of a regular slot if the lot is full and mebbe another biker might need a space). you can get a wheel lock for less than 30 bucks at a good shop. enjoy yourself thoroughly - that's why most of us out here are out on the road with you! t..
