    Panniers for thick tubing?

    Thank you!! I ordered some Ortleib panniers and the extended size clips today. I am surprised with the rise in popularity of e-bikes that the accessories are so slow to catch up. I am a Baby Boomer and for me, a ride makes more sense when I have a purpose--an errand. I am gradually moving into...

    Panniers for thick tubing?

    I love my new Raleigh Retroglide. I want to use it for errands and especially grocery shopping, but I am having trouble finding good size panniers that will fit securely on the thick tubing of the welded-on rear cargo rack. Any ideas? I tri d the Linus roll up ones but the snaps are too short...

    Review of 2018 Raleigh Retroglide

    i just got a 2018 Raleigh Retroglide and I love it. I am a bicycle and e-bike no-nothing and it was suggested as a good fit for me. It totally is and I am riding more than I have in 40 years. I am looking for panniers that will be good for getting groceries that will fit on the thick tubing...

    Yes, and thanks......I wanted to stay around 2K. That Raleigh was really nice and felt safe and I can have them add a "boost" button that works like a throttle if I want. I'm 5"2 and have a short torso. The laid back seat really helps I think to make it a good fit. I don't see the 2028...

    Hello from Iowa

    I was able to get to a bike shop not far from me and it was such a helpful trip. Couldn't try a Blix Aveny but the store owner said it was not going to be the best fit for me anyway. I tried the Raleigh Retroglide, the 2018 model, and it doesn't have the throttle but has the sensor that...

    Hello from Iowa

    Thank you so much John, Bruce, Alan. I have found a place, thanks to Alan B, not far from here where I might try the Aveny low step. Thanks for the heads-up on the body float seat post. I need some cushion! Hip surgery was enough, and I want to get better, not worse! My riding skills...

    Hello from Iowa

    I looked at the Townie Go online. It's a bit more than I want to spend for my first experience. What do you think of the Blix Aveny low step? I wanted to keep it under 2k if possible, not much more.

    I am 64 years old, 5 ' 2" and 50 or more pounds overweight, but well under the 250 pound limit I have seen mentioned on most e-bikes. I would use the bike to commute to/from work (it's probably 10 or more miles and is moderately hilly.) The hills are what keeps me from riding anything anywhere...

    Hello from Iowa

    I am hoping to find some help choosing here. I am female, 64, 5'2" and heavy for my height--not just a bit overweight. I could stand to lose 50 lbs. I had a left total hip replacement 6 months ago which was quite successful after having had a lot of pain for more than 2 years. I MUST lose...
