Thanks Leah! Your posts inspire me on a regular basis as well. Reading, and very occasionally posting in, this group has helped keep me going. Molly, can't wait to read more about your adventures as you accumulate experiences on your new bicycle. On Saturday, September 28, 2024 at 12:05:59 PM

Greg. Oh, your story. I’m just so sorry and had to say so. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone break a collarbone into that many pieces. So, so sorry and please let us know when you get back in the saddle and how it goes. That must have been a nasty, nasty crash. Molly, you too! You all keep the rubber

Molly, that's one fine Homer! I think the Homers have the best color of all the Rivs. Your set up looks comfortable and practical for seeing the sights and hauling just the right amount of stuff. Best wishes for many miles of joy! RivSisters, Joyce On Saturday, September 28, 2024 at 7:59:59

Hi Molly, and welcome to the Riv club! I just wanted to say thank you for posting. Your story is quite inspirational to me. I had big plans for a lot of fun rides this summer, including the Crater Lake ride you did, but those plans were derailed due to a crash that broke my collar bone into 5 pi

If that isn’t the cutest little Homer, I don’t know what is! I hope you will post about your rides and your observations with your new bike. Rivendells are so wonderfully different from “regular” bikes and it is fun to follow along on a new owner’s discovery of one. I’m sorry to hear about your arm

Hi Molly and welcome! Most Rivs get set up with a nice low gear for climbing, it's a byproduct of Grant's tastes in gearing from a shop at the base of a VERY steep mountain in Walnut Creek. If you can find a pic of the Homer you're looking at we'll be able to surmise how hill-climbable it is.
