You guys are so nice. ā™„ļø That Ms. Cool lady is something else. I donā€™t see myself on drops like ever, and Iā€™m so in love with my Clementine and Platypus that I canā€™t even imagine Iā€™ll ever have any other bikes. Hold me to it.

I'm going to climb way out on a limb, saw in hand, and make a prediction: as Leah continues to hammer out the miles, she'll eventually find that she wants a road bike, drop bars and all. And she'll be riding just like that Ms. Cools in those Henry Wildeberry YouTube videos. On Thursday, Dece

Between mourning a lost loved one and channelling the grief into personal accomplishment, you earn most heartfelt sympathy, deepest respect and recognition. A good job Leah. You set an example for your family and all of us. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at 2:14:34 PM U

You are an inspiration, not only to ride more, but to set and achieve a difficult but realistic goal. Congratulations. I donā€™t ride nearly as much as you, but I can admit that I ride more than I would otherwise. Since my gym is closed, I think Iā€™ll try your weightlifting strategy. As the perce

These claims may or may not be accurate, hard to say, you decide! But that Gus is designed for really-big tires run at low pressure and I suspect your bike came with them. They will slow down faster - go fast shorter? - while coasting than thinner tires at higher pressure. True fact. On Monda

Thanks, Rich! Lifting these Rivs does a body good. I am convinced any upper body strength I have is lifting my bikes or pulling hard on the bars up hills. I love it; it feels so good. Ben - you can do it! And youā€™ll get there quick, Iā€™m sure. Maybe you can reward yourself with a new Platypus? šŸ˜¬

Leah, You are a MACHINE! I love this post and find it very inspiring. So much so, that I'm going to resolve to ride 2021 miles in 2021...and hopefully I'll get there early like you and can try for more. Loved the video on IG, too! Ben On Monday, December 7, 2020 at 12:49:25 AM UTC-6 Bicycle

Gosh, this is a good question, and one Iā€™ve actually never considered. I think Iā€™d have to say the Platypus is faster and coasts longer. Iā€™d even say it feels faster downhill, but I wouldnā€™t swear to it. Iā€™m heading out after the next load of laundry and Iā€™ll see how long the thing coasts... On
