The easiest way to get on a man's bike if you can't swing your leg high enough . Is to lean the bike towards you just short of horizontal and throw your leg over . I have 5 broken ribs from both sides . Leaning the bike is currently the only way I can get on or off .
That reminds of the time I pedaled the five miles down to Seattle's Pike Place Market on my mt bike. I had been having hip problems but not while riding. I tried dismounting. I tried dismounting. I... Lots of tourists and people watching this comedy routine. Finally, I just dropped the bike on the ground and stepped over the various tubes. I was laughing as it was such an absurd situation. Reversed the routine when I went to mount. But absolutely no issues pedaling home the five hilly miles.
Doug: I promise I'll make a short video demonstrating how I easily mount the high-step frame on Sunday
Boo. Hiss.
I need it early Sunday morning so I can beat the heat which is expected to be 100F or 38C. Thanks for your work and postings.
Sure, on my road bike or hybrid, but leaning a 55lb Vado over far enough is not comfortable for me.
really ?
I'm sure you could do it easy . I had 5 ribs broken for me less then 6 weeks ago. Yeah it hurts but I can do it easy . I'm not a big guy 5'11 175lbs . And older then dirt
It's just leverage . Before I bought a Bike stand I could lay it in the grass and flip it up on those handlebar jacks (piece of cake) So you have 3 E-bikes ?? Nice : Do you have an air fryer ?
Four of them... Air fryer? I cannot get it.
We have an air fryer! Makes great French fries. I was skeptical at first, but my wife thought it was a good idea and she’s right. She even bakes cookies in it.
Latest expensive kitchen gadget. Think of 'Grey Poupon' vs mustard.
I hope you know I was kidding about the timing. And you write fluently in English so do not worry about your spoken English. I barely write fluently in English and that's where it also ends.
I tried one from Costco, where else! Too noisy and a pain to clean. Returned it. It did make nice sweet potato fries but that was not sufficient to justify.
Now, now. There is no comparison. I recently ran out of the real Grey (I use in salad dressings and rub on for lamb/pork. I purchased the store's "grey" and it is awful!
With my wife's help or use the ramp that came with the rack. I'm strong enough to lift the bike but am not anxious to spend the months of effective disability from the back injury that I had last year. In any case, I'm going to get the step-thru SL so this discussion is moot.
Sounds like a terrific ride with good results and battery useage. How much elevation gain over the ride?
220 m. Consider that a flatland.
Thanks. I was trying to compare with my 53 mile ride (85km) 2,700 feet (800+ meters). Using the Range Extender I had about 5-6% battery left. It was a hilly ride and I'm too heavy.
