This was the universal boy's way of mounting, at least when I was young, in the
'60s.

It hurts to admit it, but I think Sheldon is wrong. First: I have done this
without a problem since I learnt to ride in 1948 (but of course I build my own
wheels). Second – and the important part: doing the Cowboy Mount – or the
Shuffle Start or dismounting in same manner – you lean your body ov
Sheldon says no to both of us.
The Cowboy Mount is popular among cyclists who learned to ride on a bicycle
that was too large for them. This dubious technique involves standing next
to the bike, putting one foot on a pedal, then swinging the other leg over
the saddle while the bicycle is in
I got the Clementine and out of all the reasons I bought it, that's the one I
like the most! I adjusted to it right away and really without giving it a
second thought.

As a rather stiff 61 year old, I really don't find myself wanting, even
less needing, a stepthrough frame. I've owned several, from true drop frame
3 speeds to mixtes to the current Dahon Hon Solo, which has a very low step
over height.
I find myself always, or almost always, swinging a leg over t

My wife has a Glorius, and I borrow it occasionally when it's the easiest
bike to grab. I really like the step-through feature of the frame. I get
used to it really quickly and notice not being able to when I'm back on my
safety-frame bikes.

I had a Cheviot for a bit. I really liked the way the bike rode, but I
honestly just never got used to the appearance of the mixte type frame.
And, while I thought the step through design would be convenient when I was
pulling the kids around, in practice I just swung my leg over as I always
do. Ma
I've never owned a real mixte, but my folders provide the same toptubeless
experience, and they have changed my attitude about the 53-54cm road bikes I
used to ride. Mainly, I don't like them: That high tube seems there for no
