Sean. That is sure a mighty generous offer. Thanks. I assume that you are not mainland or I would ride over and pick it up myself. Get the impression I like to put on bike miles?
I am sort of on the fence between leaving the rack as is and using the passenger side of the seat for bigger luggage. Would work as a nice back rest. For now, hold on to that rack. Thanks again. Dave P.S. What do you think of the bike ergonomics? Sure it is fine as a commuter, but do you find your butt and back aching or is it that I am out of shape over this loooong Midwest winte?
