Re: [RBW] Re: Copenhagen wheel Rivs vs ebike
I'm intrigued by the Copenhagen wheel myself, though for the present solely in an academic way. But I think that having a Rivendell with assist would beat another electric bike. Me, I think I'd use 60 mm Big Apples. They are pretty darned bulletproof and you can run them soft enough to absorb bumps (that is, about 25 psi; I don't know why Schwalbe puts a 35 min pressure label on their 60 mm tires, since 35 in such fat tires is rock hard. Me, I say 25 or 27 psi max).

Are there issues besides the weight when it comes to fixing flats?

Re: [RBW] Re: Copenhagen wheel Rivs vs ebike
That's an average range for most ebikes, and can be stretched considerably on the Copenhagen with judicious use of the Eco and 0 settings. One of the things I like about it on my Riv is it still pedals like a Riv, I can ride with very little assistance on flats and click it off completely for descents. That said, I *am* an urban rider. If you really want to tour with juice on a Riv you need a system that accepts switching batteries mid-ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Copenhagen wheel Rivs vs ebike
IIRC the maximum range on the Copenhagen Wheel is 30 miles. That doesn't compare well with most e-assist bikes, and while that might be a fine range for an urban commuter, Rivs can be so much more.

Sorry Garth. Not a lot of time on street photography for rbw content. Most of our photos were inside museums and castles. It gets cold in Denmark!

RE: [RBW] Re: Copenhagen!
Nice to see your pictures! Though having visited Copenhagen now and then since 1957 and even ridden drop-bar bicycles there (and even bought two bikes there, with drop bars)I can assure that they do exist. Pedersens ARE nice to ride – I have done so – though taking another road to design. Sögreni on the other hand are in my view not Rivendellian, traditional frame design but more catering to his own minimalist design than practicality and comfort. His bars are murder!

I have been to Copenhagen in the summer and it was spectacular. It had a profound impact on my views of cycling. For one thing once I got back I stopped using cycling specific clothing. As John says, if a woman in a fur coat can ride a bike, why do I have to wear lycra tights and a Shower Pass rain jacket? It was after this trip that I decided to buy my Sam Hillborne with Albatross bars and big basket on the front. In the thousands upon thousands of bikes I saw there, not one dropped bar handlebar could be found. That in of itself should tell you something. As for the Pedersen bike, I have ridden one and it was in my top three best riding bikes I ever had the experience of trying. It is like nothing you have tried before. The suspended seat is very comfortable. Copenhagen is my dream city. Unfortunately it wasn't my wife's dream city because if it was I would live there in a heartbeat. Be forewarned it is expensive, but there is a good reason for that, that is best left for another day. That trip changed my life.
