    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    Correct. Hands work just fine for hydration except when canoe racing.

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    We used a straw system when we raced canoes; never really liked them for hiking or biking.

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    In our older age (70), we get off every 20 minutes or so. Hydrate, stretch, butt relief; it's a good thing for us. Also, with the upright riding position, it's a long way to those bosses compared to the drop bars we used to ride. If we wanted to hydrate on the go, we'd look at bar bottle holders.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    Perhaps I missed what you are riding; Class 2? Are you doing a bunch of prep riding b4 your adventure? Having done several distance rides (in my younger days, analog not ebike) most people that suffered didn't have sufficient seat time b4 the ride (typically 500ish miles in 7 days with (1)...

    Where do you keep your bike?

    That's what we do. To the original post question: In our attached garage or in our van if we're traveling with them. The only time they are not in one of those 2 places is if we are on a ride.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    It sounds like many have negative riding experiences with vehicles; I never have. In our younger riding days we stayed off most US and state highways, traveled mostly on county roads. Road biking experience is limited to IA, IL, NY; miles of "back roads" in all directions. Grab a Gazetteer or...

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    Carrying enough solar to make a difference will probably be nearly canceled out by weight and added drag; unless you plan to park for a bunch of time. We designed support for distance riding with a van with 440 watts of panels on the roof and 400 AHr of batteries inside. 2 couples; 3 riding, 1...

    Do you ride with someone?

    We never ride alone. I can't imagine a case that towing would be the best/only solution.

    Charging port cover - won't seat

    Less than perfect design. I've found when closing the cover, it doesn't, doesn't, doesn't close and with no noticeable change in technique, it does. Frustrating!

    An elderly couple 👵👴 walked into a McDonald’s and sat down at a table near some young people who were having dinner. The old man approached the counter and placed an order for one meal. He returned, unwrapped the hamburger, carefully cut it in half, and placed one half in front of his wife...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB

    We have C380s and really like them. It's been 5 years so my memory is now 5 years older. The LBS didn't have a C380, but had a T10, which I recall is the same geometry as a C380 (only really difference I recall is IGH vs derailleur) so judging fit using T10 should be a good test; unless...

    Interesting. I checked: 8 National Holidays in UK (11 in US, not all are paid holidays for everyone though; the company I worked for had (as I recall 14) plus I retired with 36 days additional vacation days). The other vary by employer allowed vacation days? Always interested in reading about...
