Good to know. Can they be stored vertically safely?

What is your current MTB? What don't you like about it?

Nice features. Is the front of the rear fender load bearing? I am trying to figure out where the load on the front of the pannier rack goes.

So communist Poland had military paternity leave in 1987, and the US did not until 2009.

Virginia Tech now tests and rates bike helmets, similar to their work on helmets in other sports. https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html
