Re: [RBW] Re: Do you actually step through your Clem or Platypus?

[Mike Rossi]

One of the things I do to work on mobility is put my socks on in the morning while standing up. That’s what stepping through my Platypus reminds me of. And having a Sackville on the back makes swinging the leg over tricky. I guess about as much as hoisting my knee to my chest. I go back and forth between the two.  Mike On Mar 20, 2025, at 9:15 PM, Kim H. <krhet...@gmail.com> wrote:  I bought a Clem for the reason of it being a step-through frame set. I have grown older with difficulty in throwing my right leg over the back of end of a standard top-tubed bicycle without pain in my hip and leg joint.  I have no experience with a Platypus bicycle. I just own a Clem. Kim Hetzel. On Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 4:59:24 PM UTC-7 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: I do!

I think the main reason I don't is habit.  I have been throwing my leg over the saddle of bikes for about 50 years.  Since I have three other bikes that require me to go over the saddle, breaking the habit is unlikely.  What about you? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
