I found one and got it all set up to my liking. On a ride once, somebody asked if the bike “planed” when it got up to speed. It surprised me that someone would use a windsurfing description to describe a bike ride. After that question I was determined to see if it did. What I found was that my skinny tire, drop bar days were over. Getting that thing up to speed wasn’t comfortable for me. On the plus side, like the expedition, there is a market out there for those “Grant approved” bikes. It sold quickly. On Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 6:17:31 PM UTC-7 eric...@gmail.com wrote:
