2018 Roll Sport - Low Entry

I bought my Specialized low entry roll, about 8 years ago. My husband had got into cycling and he made it look such fun I wanted to get back on a bike again. I could sell these bikes (and I think I have sold a couple!). What's great: the comfort, I have had a few bikes over the years but nothing as comfortable as this bike. The seat is great, right from the first ride, I never have had an issue, no matter how far I go. I love being upright, easy on my back. Those fat tyres mean I can go on and off the curb with no problem, and an unexpected hole in the road, or whatever, is unlikely to throw you off. I use this bike to commute to work but take it away on weekends as well, it can put up with a bit of a rough trail. I can get a decent speed up - yip I can beat the husband. And I have only ever had one puncture. What's not to love? What's not so great: it is a bit heavy.

Handled well and now with e conversation the bike handles really well.. added a gel seat and oh so comfy. Saved around 2k using my 3yo roll bike to convert instead of buying new

After a knee replacement and ankle fusion on left leg, unable to ride normal bike due to lack of knee bend and ankle flex. This is the first bike with comfy seat and suspension, that I can get full leg rotation and touch the ground when I stop. Highly recommend for anyone with limited knee bend. I now feel safe and look forward to getting bike fit again.

As a tall woman, it was so hard finding a bike with a cruiser-like geometry and multiple speeds in my size, but this bike has it ALL! I had spinal fusion surgery as a teenager and road bikes have never been an option so I was thrilled to find this at a local bike shop. My wife and I ride these bikes all over downtown Denver, CO and connected bike trails and have enjoyed the comfort and reliability ride after ride. The splashy color options are such a great perk too- lots of second looks while we are out and about!

For several years my legs have hurt due to restricted blood flow, and I haven't been able to walk around my neighborhood. I last had a bike, an Electra Townie, about eight years ago, but I got pleurisy any time I pushed myself hard, so I sold it. This time I got the Sport Roll Low Entry, with plans to take it a bit more easy. It finally arrived today, so I went for a ride around the block, There was a fierce wind blowing, but the path was not too up and down. I was able to stay in the same gear for the whole ride. While I was riding, I didn't give a thought to any pain, I was having fun. I was amazed just seeing streets I hadn't seen in over five years. There was no leg pain at all. When I finally stopped, my legs ached, and my lungs were burning like a bad toothache, but this all settled down after several minutes. I was able to bring in my washing from the line (which I had forgotten), and after dinner, take my cat for her evening walk down the street, all with no ill effects from my first ride. This new bike is a great partner in helping me to regain my mobility, and it will help me get out and about when I am broke, which is most of the time. In a year's time, you won;t know me! And the Roll definitely moves around more easily than my old Townie, though I have to remember to stand on the pegs when crossing rain gutters, otherwise a kick to the backside follows. And I love the disc brakes - so much better braking!

Great bike. I am 83 and have rode bikes for many years, but last summer had serious bake surgery. After surgery I was unable to lift my leg over a bike to get on.This bike solved my issue. This bike has great geometry and is fun to ride. Every morning I ride about 15 miles. Thanks Specialized for putting me on the road again.
