[RBW] Re: What saddles are women using on their Riv mixtes?

Linda Gyes makes leather saddles with a lace on the bottom of the skirt to minimize spreading. If you like the B17, other than spreading, they may be worth a try. Here is the link to their website Gyes . I do not know who sells them. They made the VO

Re: [RBW] Re: I'm a New Bike Commuter

Not much I could add to this already thorough thread, but I did try my hardest to avoid using a pannier but in the end, pannier or two on a rear rack is just pretty unbeatable particularly if you need to carry a laptop (mine is kinda big, which narrowed down my options significantly). Front

Re: [RBW] Unicorn pursuit . . . Heron Randonneur 59

Thanks, Joe! Few Rivs appear here on the East Coast, at least as far as I've seen. And in olden days, few B'stones were sold here, likewise; I've only met one other person with one of those. But, hey, the hunt is half the fun, right? On Saturday, February 5, 2022 at 1:07:45 PM UTC-5

My favourite bags for commuting are from Po Campo. https://www.pocampo.com They make very cute and functional bags for commuters. I use one of their backpack/pannier models for normal commutes. It is super quick to use is as a pannier on my rear rack, and then put it into backpack mode to walk

I used a large Messenger Bag for a 20 mile commute for many years-- very handy because I did not need racks, and you can just get off the bike and walk to the office. I carried up to 20 pounds in the Messenger Bag with no discomfort; I would never use a backpack (sweaty back and load too high

Rack and panniers. You want a pannier that is easy to remove and carry around for when you stop to run an errand on your way home. Double check to make sure your chosen panniers are compatible with the rack; Tubus and Nitto racks have larger diameter tubing and not all panniers will fit. Get a

[RBW] Re: I'm a New Bike Commuter

Roberta, One thing I may have missed is what sort of work attire do you need to carry? Two miles is a relatively short distance and unless it’s really humid or raining, you may not need to change. If your clothes need to be neatly pressed then you will need to keep them neatly folded for your

[RBW] Beautiful (to me) bar wrap

I still think of the time I did the 5-borough ride as the most fun I've had on a bike. It was not hot the day I rode. When we reached the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, we rode on the lower deck in the shade and, honestly, I was very cold. We arrived the day before, stayed in Manhattan and rode

Roberta, Do it and take a friend. Arrive early-ish to the start, that was the basis of my only hesitations of doing it again, we had trouble finding the rental outfit we had arranged for a bike m wife wanted to use. Ride with amazement and awe through streets of a city you'd never seen like
