I got one of those, Molly. I took it in before the big trip, they checked it (so had I) and it was ok. What they had found, I believe, is that sometimes the back tire rubs on the left side of the frame. If you sit on the bike and reach back and tuck your fingers under the fender, you'll find that it's close. However, the tire, at least in my case, doesn't quite make it to the frame. I checked this by coating the side of my tire with flour (oh, stop laughing, it was handy) and then taking my niece for a ride around the block. We hit all the bumps we could, and didn't have any rubbing at all.
If my niece was heavier, or were I heavier, it may have rubbed.
