I had taken the Mango Sport off the road for a while. She got hurt by some bollards and it took a while to repair her and I got a bit out of shape in the meantime. I allowed this to bench my mango. In April I was considering selling her but decided against it. Instead I have cleaned her up, got all the electronics working, horn, turn signals, lights, taillight, etc. I took her our for a short ride today, I am still out of shape and moving the Velomobile is harder work than my Raptobike. But I put 5 or so miles in about half of it up hill. The mango is such a great bike and I am happy it is on the road again. Once I get into commuting shape I will be riding her 3-7 days a week. I am super excited.One of the nice things about the mango is how everyone smiles and waves at you. The energy is very positive and I could use more of that.

Hooray for transport that makes people smile. I used to have a squeaky clown horn on my bike, just so I could honk it at kids. :-)
I have a ring ring bell for kids and walkers. I have an electronic horn for cars. It is quite fun.
