My bike does fit me and I'm happy with it. Feet on ground while sitting on the saddle is not typical, unless you have a bike designed for a crank forward and seat back riding position.

A throttle is great if you can start off with your butt in the seat. Because I'm short and my feet don't come close to touching the ground, not even my toes, I always have to start standing on the asphalt, with one foot high on the pedal, ready to push down and use that momentum to then get my...

I always act like a car at intersections, meaning if the light is red I stop and wait for a green light to proceed.

Well I *would* have but I was already talked-out having had a conversation with my cat earlier that day. ;)

Several weeks ago I saw a Jump bike at a local shopping center near me. I'd never seen one before and I just stared at it for a minute or two. Went home to research what this bright orange bike was all about. No one was near the bike or I would have struck up a conversation about it.

Hi @JayVee $99 for a pair of Ortlieb panniers is amazing! I hear you on the want/need for an external pocket or 2. You could easily make your own with some PVC fabric or a piece of neoprene, cut in the shape and size of pocket you want plus 1/2" extra on all sides, then use some heavy duty...

@Barry S Not exactly sure on ebike tube diameter, but my guess is 14 or 15mm. The pannier has a sliding hook on the bottom (just like Ortleib panniers) that allows you to angle the bag backwards if you need to in order to avoid heel strike. No problem for me with heel strike on my ebike.

> Glucosamine Chondroitin & MSM daily supplements Just an added FYI to what Court said about taking joint supplements. Joint supplments are *excellent* for our 4 legged friends. I gave my beloved golden a Glucosamine Chondroitin & MSM supplement daily for several years since larger dogs...

I wanted a pannier bag and I wanted to find one that wouldn't be costly. The price of Ortleibs held me back. Since I purchased a rear trunk bag from AliExpress.com and that worked out quite well, back to AliExpress I went. I found this Roswheel pannier bag. It had the basic features I...

Hi Sean - I'm here too. Bordering town, just to the west.

no usb port on bike, nuvi does not have lifetime maps. I prefer cycling apps on my smartphone that incorporate gps.

I use a Garmin Nuvi in my car but it's older and has to be plugged in at all times because the internal battery is pretty much shot. I looked at and considered a Garmin GPS for my bike but I just can't justify spending the $$$ when I already have a smartphone (android), holder, mount, and an...

I've used the bicycle peddler mirror on my helmet in the past, but the angle was always weird and no matter how I positioned it I'd have to move my head to the left some and look up. And there were a couple times I forgot to put the mirror on my helmet before getting to where I started my ride...

I use an ORP horn and it does get some attention, but on a multi-use path I also have to yell out, "passing on your left" when I encounter groups or joggers. I find some people don't realize they are on a path used by many, and some don't understand they need to move to the ride side of the...

As for ebike replacing a car (where you have no car?) I'd say it will replace the shorter trips of under 20 mi. However, you also need to decide how much the weather will be a factor in you wanting to or willing to ride your ebike. For needing to haul big things or going out of town then you'll...

What you're looking for is a universal smartphone mount that handles a phone the size you have. Generally phone mounts will refer to iPhone (6 /6s/7/8) to give indication of the size of phone the mount will hold. Do a search on the forums to see what people have been using. I know it gets...

The glut of eMTN bikes is enormous now. That's been the biggest growth segment since I purchased my ebike in 2015. Just looking at Bull's bike lineup, it's overwhelming. I think the missing niche is an ebike that would be great for both paved road AND rails-to-trails type riding. But not a...

Before I ever rode my ebike I had the shop install some Mr. Tuffy liners on the stock Kendra tires. I ride on mostly paved paths and roads, so this has worked well for me. If I were riding off road I'd be looking at a known tire like Marathon Plus, which has been engineered to keep flats at bay.
