I need the #bicycle equivalent of a subcompact hatchback, not the bicycle equivalent of a Formula 1 race car, or the bicycle equivalent of a soccer mom's or hockey dad's SUV, and definitely not the bicycle equivalent of a Paris-Dakar off-road rally truck.

My bicycle needs to hold me, my handbag, my briefcase, and my groceries, and protect us from precipitation; it will never leave the roads of my town, but it does need to handle loads stably and be comfortable, lightweight, and inexpensive.

Gravel road perfection. The groads of Rensselaer County NY are phenomenal. Mostly low traffic class 1 gravel through rural areas dotted with farms. The terrain isn't too steep but you will get some short 20% climbs. It's punchy to say the least.

Первая в этом году покатуха на работу на велике.
На набережной был сильный ветер, ну а целом вообще ништяк.

#GoodMorning #Gravel! A wind from hell! I’ve made a tactical mistake of going with it first and had to work for it to get back home in time.💀🤡

Also, #KidsOnBikes fucked me over by being VERY late…😔

#NightRiders strike again! This time we’ve wandered around #Poznan #Jezyce district, disturbing posh people in their nice environments with our trashy #cycling sightseeing…🤡

There’s plenty of new and renovated buildings in there. I did not realize…🫣
