Does my bike wobble all over with a load on it? No. I haven't noticed that. It does take more effort, as it should, to pedal when it is loaded down and starting from a stop is more difficult. I've usually got a headwind on the way home, but it is only a couple of miles from the store...

Why is it assumed that those of us who like the bike feel aren't using our bikes for transportation. The first two weeks I had my Gazelle, I had no other vehicle. My pickup broke down bringing the Gazelle home. Then, because the Gazelle was spendy for me, I used it for errands and shopping...

I carry groceries on my Gazelle. The ride changes, the extra weight is noticeable. Carrying a watermelon is especially felt. I cannot find anything that balances a watermelon to put in the other pannier. I also end up using a higher assist. But when the bike is not loaded, it's back to a...

From reading on here, and reading articles about....New York the city and elsewhere, that isn't working out right now. I regularly get facebook ads showing the motorcycly "bikes" that I should want to buy. All look cumbersome.

My Gazelle is "just right", for me. I had to ride a 8 or 9 mile climb with it in low gear and turbo, stopping only on flatter parts or where there was a rare road entering from the side. Have heard of other people complaining about the lack of power for hills while using the same model. In a...

Also, there are some people, I am one, who haven't ever been on official trails. I was walking on one and heard a metallic sound. I'd never heard it before. I did know what a bike bell sounded like, but this twang sound? Then I was startled by a cyclist going by. Where I live, I use my...

I'm feeling like a dinosaur. I like an ebike that feels like a bicycle. It is responsive, fairly lightweight, and I must pedal. The motor is there because we have hills and I don't like get off my bike to push. It is comfortable to ride for miles and miles. I'm not interested in speed, I'm...

The original post is a good example of why people go to planning meetings and get ebikes banned. Thanks for nothing.

Better start a dramatic thread about that. I wanted a Dairy Queen Blizzard one time but there was no place to lock my bike there, so I saved some money and possible weight gain. It was a hard choice to make. Our Burger King made the news a few years ago. A local customer had called 911...

After finally moving into a house there, I went out on Chequamegon Bay for a paddle in my kayak. Had that song going through my head all the time I was on the water.

Are you even real? Is this just another thread of drama where somebody tries to read the minds of anyone who comments or dares to ask, did you lock up your bike. Good heavens. How old are you? Do you have friends? You need help. I'd ignore you but I simply cannot believe that someone can...

The one they want. Everybody is different, even old people.

A cafe lock is standard on a Gazelle. Not to worry though, you can again be a victim because cafe locks apparently are easy to deal with and there is a youtube video on how to do that, so say the Gazelle forum people. Also, one person posted that they left their two day old Gazelle outside a...

Here's my take. I was not blaming you. But, it is nice to know if the bike was locked. That gives people an idea of how "serious" the thieves are. The next question would be What Kind of Lock Was Used--which gives the same info. It's called INFORMATION, not blame. If you don't want those...

So, was it locked up?

Industry talks about this. It's about halfway down the article. article

Gazelle bikes come with them built in. Its a little bar that slides between the wheel spokes and keeps the rear wheel from turning. I understand that there is a youtube video on how to break them and have read about Gazelles being stolen after the owner left the bike with only the cafe lock...

Yes. I have wished for a throttle on my Gazelle after having stopped on a steep hill. I chose my stops carefully on a 9 mile climb. I stopped only at a rare spot where the steep slope flattened a bit, or a just as rare spot where a side road was located. When riding to run my dog and just...

Oh, and the "downtown" part of this little cow town I live in has some definitely designer made bike posts--they aren't really racks, that aren't really very practical. It's too scary to ride there anyway and I've never seen a bike using them. I have seen bikes locked instead, to trees and...

I was surprised to not find a bike rack at the grocery store in the western themed town to the west of here. I locked my bike to a bench in front of the store. My not a cable lock would not go around the pillars. It is a town that caters to athletic tourists but there is no bike rack at the...
