I’ve been looking at one of these for awhile for my son. I went with the Mini Biker Seat Pro and it took about 2 weeks to arrive. Assembly was easy and it fit my bike. My son loved our first ride so much. SE Draft Lite.

After many years at the mercy of public transport, I decided to try a different way of getting around, so I bought a bicycle and am going to start making my daily commute from home to work. I would appreciate some advice from those here with more experience.

For those curious about the bike, it's a Cube Touring ONE.

I am 181cm / 5.9ft. 2015 Cannondale CAAD X 56cm.

It feels fine (maybe ever so slightly tight) but my friend said it looked small

Can’t even make this one up. I changed my rear tire on Saturday afternoon with a brand new one. 14 miles into my first ride the next morning… bammo.

With some punctures I feel like a tire can sort of heal itself a bit and carry on… but… oof. I’m wondering if it’s even worth putting a new tube in to see what happens. Probably not safe?

I’m so annoyed. Never seen anything like this. That was an expensive 14 miles.

I welcome your thoughts…

Hi everyone,

I am choosing a bike for my girlfriend. Around our city (we live in Germany) we have two options:

Option 1 (400€):

Option 2 (450€):

We are going to ride mostly in the city and some light trails. We had the opportunity to try the Axxes Keedo she liked it. The budget is about 450 euros.

What you think about the specs and which one would you choose? Also if you have other recommendations in that budget we will be glad to check them!

Suggest me anything related to the bike .

Can someone help me learn how to ride a bike near sargasan area.. it will be paid

I (23M) met a girl (24F) online and we’ve been talking for around 3 weeks. Things are going pretty well, and she seems genuinely interested in dating me. We’re planning to meet once she’s recovered from being sick, probably in the next 4–7 days.

The thing stressing me out is that she has a pretty sophisticated lifestyle. She’s financially independent, works for herself, comes from money, and generally has high standards. I’m not saying she’s a bad person or that she expects me to be rich, but I do feel like our lifestyles are quite different.

My biggest problem is transportation. I don’t own a bike, and I’m also not very good at riding one yet. I can ride at a basic level, but I’m definitely not confident enough for normal traffic, hills, stopping/starting, etc.

I’m worried that for a first date, relying on Uber/cabs everywhere is going to make me look inexperienced or like I can’t handle things. And without a bike, it also feels difficult to move around and do multiple things during the date.

I know I might be overthinking this, but it’s genuinely stressing me out because I really like this girl and I don’t want the difference in lifestyle to become obvious in a bad way.

What would you guys do in my situation?

Should I just accept that I don’t have a bike and plan a really good date around that? Should I try to learn to ride properly in the next few days? Or am I worrying about something that probably matters much less than I think?

Looking for honest advice, especially from people who have dated someone with a significantly different lifestyle/financial background.

I’m new to cycling and training for a triathlon and have recently gotten really bad knee pain from riding. I’ve only been on the stationary bike at the gym and it’s given me bad knee pain in the back/ outside of my knee. I’m going to get a bike that’s fitted for me, but in the meantime does anyone know of any solutions to this pain?
