/n/ - Transportation » Thread #1660060

I have a verve 2 lowstep, not because I'm gay or anything but they were sold out of everything except ebikes but some chick cancelled her order so I got that one. I'm only ever going to buy a lowstep again begause I can dismount while riding and it's just easier really.

The "men" of /n/ will mock you, but I have one of those and it's a slight bit more relaxing knowing you'll never bounce your balls off the top tube. Plus you can sit right on it and bomb down sledding hills in the winter.

I got it for my parents to use as well as something to roll around on whenever I'm home.

It certainly does make mounting really easy, works well with casual clothes, and you can stack a bunch of crap on the back rack without it interfering with your ability to mount the bike.

I bought my Mom a Raleigh Detour step thru she loves it with the exception that she would prefer 26" wheels for some reason.

This has been the mamachurri report from my garage thank you from reading my blog.

that's because 26" is better.

take care not to bump the front wheel into anything
the forks and top tube bend very easily

i can't believe these geometries exist in a world where gender has lost all meaning, owning one of these bikes would be like riding side saddle on a horse ffs.

sure the wall section is thick
but the tubing diameter is small
and the metal is mild to the point that 1020 is high tensile by way of comparison

I've always preferred low-step bikes, especially cause you can step out effortlessly and glide right up next to your definition. I used to ride this beaut

I upgraded to this e-bike about a month ago
https://www.r-m.de/en-gb/bikes/homage/

It's fucking massive, and I definitely can't step through it as easily, but it is kinda nice having an even higher riding position

These kind of bikes are extremely comfortable for short rides. They are good bikes for normies, faggots, women, old people and fatty fatty boom booms.

My girlfriend's bike resembles something like this, it is total trash but it has personality (I'm speaking about about the bicycle). The freewheel makes a very pleasant ticking sound, like an extremely small steam locomotive.

I had to borrow her bike one time and I felt ridiculous riding it because it is obvious that I am a sick Racer® cunt.

So I was freewheeling down a hill on the bike path, ticking along at like 10mph and a homeless man literally pointed and laughed at me, this was how silly I looked.

nahh every freewheel is different, some are meh..
for example.. https://youtu.be/SG0uBDvgXu0

I like the "Extralite Hyper rear" one the best, it sounds like a fucking chainsaw. I am a fixie faggot and my drive chain is extremely quiet, the only sound my bike makes comes from the tyre contacting the road.

But I secretly wish that I could afford an exotic carbon bicycle with a chainsaw freewheel and very deep rims that make a wooshing sound. I would enjoy scaring out of normies when coasting.
