Thanks joe,

I'll pay more attention to what and when it sounds like and feels like today. I'm going to ride it to the mall in a few minutes to do my morning walk. I am going to ride the bike three miles in the cold, so that I can walk three miles indoors. Just seems absolutely wrong to do that but it's an excuse to ride the bike early and see what it does in the cold.

I have also decided to pull the chain guard off the pedal side. I only pedal a few feet so it serves no real purpose. It is just something else to rattle. I also have to get some practice with this new 20" wheel. The bike handles differently for sure. The center of gravity is lower so it seems more stable, but it turns differently for some reason not sure what that is about.
