Brains without braun, or in simpler terms, a lazy man can find an easy way to do anything.....Maybe most learned what I did, put on rear brake and raise bike on rear wheel, roll to the rack, modulate rear brake to lower the front, then just need to lift the rear.
Always bin my mantra. Most progress can be attributed to a lazy man finding an easier way to do stuff.Brains without braun, or in simpler terms, a lazy man can find an easy way to do anything.....
Relocating seems a bit extreme, but I like it! We bought our house with trail proximity in mind too. Though we can ride right from the garage as well, what we didn't consider was the severity of the hills between the house and the trails. They didn't seem too bad in the car! What we found after getting all settled in, was by time we manage to get to the trail (about 4 miles), we have just enough left to get home! That was on our old bikes though. Is why the e-bikes were such a game changer for us, allowing us to continue riding as long as we're able.... -Al+3 on being being lazy, work smarter, not harder...
I ended up buying a house closer to the +40 miles of paved, double wide dirt paths, and single track trails near the Rio Grande river compared to loading 1-4 (e)bikes on my SUV bike rack (+65 lbs per ebike, 60lbs for the 4 bike rack, and parking always sucks at the trails after 9am). Only other option was to play dodge traffic for 4 miles with minimal bike lanes if I rode to the trails from the old house. I now just ride out my garage and hit the trails 1/4 mile away.
