Thanks! I need to ride it more. It’s been a bit since I’ve been riding my road bikes and picked up a SS 27.5 Rock Lobster with a pizza rack and bag for errand running.

Thanks! I always try to put together fun bikes, because if I don’t, riding becomes a ‘exercise activity’ and not for fun. It’s taken some years, but I finally know what works for me.
