Several years ago, I bought a bicycle, hoping to ride it for a little exercise. It was a standard, upright bicycle, with six gears and handbrakes. I can't get comfortable on the thing, my legs are too long to sit back, and the handlebars are too far away to sit upright. I basically feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands every time I get on this bike.

I used to spend hours riding around my home town on a Schwinn Manta Ray (24") I borrowed from my neighbor, the bike i question looks like it would be just as comfortable, with the added bonus of having a coaster brake. I'd like to get this bike, does anyone know of a similar package, maybe even with a higher sissy bar with a padded headrest, a springer front end, and a rack I can use to transport small quantities of snacks/liquor back to my abode?

What it sounds like is the bike was never properly adjusted for you.

You might need a longer seat post, and a different set of handlebars, but those would be less than a new bike. Particularly a Pansymobile.
