After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Comments about Raleigh Detour 4.5 Step-Through Women's Bike - 2012:

I'm 5'9 and this bike is really comfortable for me. The only bad thing I can say is that it gets discolored easily, but it doesn't bother me because I knew a white bike would get dirty. This bike is even ok on some dirt/gravel trails- not any mountain biking trails of course, but slight off road is perfectly fine on this bike. I would definitely suggest either bicycle shorts or a padded seat cover for longer rides, but that's with most bikes. This is a great bike and I'm happy with it overall.
