I wish the infrastructure in my area was such that I didn't feel like I needed a helmet, but there's only one really separated bike path near me (two since they temporarily pedestrianized the downtown area until November) until you get closer to the city

Biked to drop off my mail in ballot and go to the farmers market. Front baskets are great

I ride a folding bike and don't think I've ever gone faster than 10mph on a flat stretch with no elevation change There are plenty of people here who buy cheap bikes from a department store and pedal along slowly on the sidewalk to work or on errands, but demographically aren't your typical SA poster so you just don't hear from them. I'd say they outnumber the people on fancy bikes in my city

Yeah I do the thing where I can at least put the ball of one foot down, but my legs are long so the angle ends up being okay for my knees. I do pretty much only utility cycling, so there’s lot of stopping and I guess it just feels safer

VideoGameVet, where did you get that handle on the frame to make it easier to carry? I've been thinking that it'd be nice to have something like that on my Brompton

I live in 350 square ft (32 ish square meters) and have a folding bike, fits onto an ikea boot tray and sits at the foot of my bed. Even in COVID times, people haven’t minded me taking it into a shop. Plenty of weird looks though

And if the lane is wide enough, cars take that as a cue to go way over the speed limit

SimonSays posted:Like many, it looks like they closed cause the owners are close to retirement, and it's been total garbage to work at a bike shop for the last year and it's not gonna get better for another two years. I understand why they're fed up and don't think it's worth it. That makes sense, Jon is a pretty old guy, hope the mechanics end up elsewhere if they're not tired of the industry I'm in need of a new local bike shop now, if anyone knows of a good place in the western Boston suburbs that handles bromptons, let me know. I know of cycle loft up in Burlington and there's the various Landry's locations too

Thanks for the tip! Looks like that’s where all the dudes with Terns near me are getting theirs ha
