[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

I like the idea of "if you heard about it from Riv and they sell it, buy it from them as a courtesy." The (usually small) increase in price is worth the mountains of advice I have received from them and you all. "Tuition comes in many forms," as my friend's dad says. I guess they have to limit

[RBW] Re: MUSA pre-order

I'll bet they've never heard this contrastive crotch color conundrum before. Someone on the design team thought it was a good idea and it went forward. With this feedback I bet the next batch won't have that! And let's hope there is a next batch. The only "problem" with the MUSA shorts I have

Re: [RBW] How do you track your mileage?

I use a wired cyclocomputer that rarely needs a new battery (Years?) and tracks every mile I ride. That way I never have to turn my phone or an app on. But that is for my style of riding: a mile here, 3 miles there, I rarely ride more than 10 at a time. I am an AtoB cyclist and can’t be bothered

[RBW] Re: Thoughts: Downsizing the bike stable and dual-purposing bikes

In my family biking experience, I will expect you to have an easier time with her up front than in the back. I find that a kid in the back affects the ride MUCH more than a kid up front. My current family is the stoutest of stout Workcycles Fr8 and I have the kid saddle mounted on the downtube.

Re: [RBW] Re: 25th Anniversary Riv

Tony, I love that idea! Everyone gets what they want! Riv gets sales, with guarantees, and everyone gets their dream frame. As long as five or so others share that dream. At that price! I would start with an original one tube Atlantis and might even get a quick beam. You only get to do this onc

[RBW] Balance Bikes for Bouncing Babies

I like pneumatic tires because they are quieter. Some like plastic because they are lighter. Probably doesn’t make a huge difference, though pneumatics might last a touch longer. I always have pushed my kids a bit faster into the next size bike than I probably should... three kids in I am getti

[RBW] Cargo e-bikes are an amazing concept, but the options are imperfect

One more to consider: the Workcycles fr8 V8. I have had all non electric assists: Yuba mundo, bakfiets and fr8 so can only speak to the bike design. I think the fr8 is the most bike like and most likely to be ridden without a big load like 1-3 kids. It is a nice one to have as the kids grow out

Re: [RBW] To Helmet or not

Here are my FAQs about my helmet use that I share with friends and family to prove I am the bike obsessed person in their life: Do you ever wear a helmet? Sure, I wear a helmet sometimes. I am more likely to wear a helmet if it is cold, dark, rainy, or all of the above. Also, I am more likely to

[RBW] Re: To Helmet or not

Jeff, I would add one under-studied disadvantage of wearing a helmet: You are more likely to hit your head on things when you have a helmet on than when you do not have one on. I have not seen this scientifically studied (yet!), but I have experienced it myself. Your body is so well trained to

Dan, You should DEFINITELY do it yourself... but not to save money! You will learn a great deal, but of course "tuition comes in many forms." You will pay dearly with long hours, buying new tools, taking forever to do simple steps, etc... and at the end you will have your very own bike that you

Bill, If god wanted you to use a tensioner with a single speed, she wouldn't have created track ends. Seriously, I will be interested to hear how this shakes out, and what you discover, as it is a bit baffling why a multi gear freewheel will work and a single speed freewheel would not. Edwi
