    Interesting Use Case. Need Advice.

    The Brompton folder will be more of the lighter options. I have a Brompton. On electric and you can pick it up and fold it fast. In my opinion Brompton make the best fold. I also have a Magnum Classic II folder and it is so much heavier and I couldn’t see myself folding it to carry anywhere. I’m...

    The Good Things You Have Bought ver. 2

    My Ergon grips are heaven. I had a hard time finding the one for one side with a shifter so I bought the only pair around that are for two shifters. Doesn’t matter. They are great and have the little wing tip that keeps my hands where they need to stay.

    Reasons you ride? - Aside from the obvious reason where riding is your passion.

    I too sit in front of a computer all day. Pre-pandemic I could walk much more but I have foot issues so biking is better. Now with working from home I can throw my bike in the car and ride a lovely trail by a river. It’s nice for unwinding and I get a good workout that doesn’t bust my feet. It...

    Does e-Biking Help You With Other Sports?

    I started strength training in the winter and that helped when I started with my ebike but what I notice now that I ebike so much is my legs are so much stronger so I can handle more strength training and my knee problem is slowly getting better (I hope I didn’t just jinx it).

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    I agree. As someone with Achilles tendon issues and other foot ailments from flat feet, that always wears orthotics and can’t be bare foot even in the shower without pain, I’d totally buy an e-shoe.

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    I used strata once. I thought I turned off all the invasive reporting But someone still managed to “follow me” so I deleted the app immediately. I use Ride with GPS now. I think the whole following strangers and competing with them is weird.

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    Make them angry by hollaring, “loser!” It makes as much sense. I find most people friendly on the trail I ride on but some “serious” bikers look at me with disgust if I smile or wave or say hello. I remember I climbed a hill that two of them were blocking. On the down slope, one went a head and...

    Folded up: What bags / baskets work for you?

    I originally bought this water bottle mount for my Brompton so I knew it would work on my Magnum Classic II. https://klickfix.com/en/products/detail/variants/1650 It has an attachment for any water bottle cage and the one I use I got from Amazon. I remove it when I fold the bike. Attached are...
