The struggle is REAL!

There’s nothing quite as bad as going on a ride with your extremely fit friend. By the time you finally reach the top of the climb they’re well rested and ready to go! I just need a couple minutes to catch my breath! 😮‍💨

The GREAT Granny Gear. ⚙️

Look. 52 teeth is great. But 252 teeth is WAY better!! Those climbs are gonna be a BREEZE once you slap on a GREAT granny gear. 😂

Can you ride the E-Bike TOO much?

I know one of the biggest fears people have when they get an Ebike is that they’ll just stop riding their regular bikes altogether.

What’s the PERFECT tire pressure?

Buying the “perfect” bike.

What’s next after 32 inch tires?!

Let be honest. Tires just KEEP getting bigger. We thought it would stop by now they’re making 32 inch tires. What’s next?! 😂🤷‍♂️

The only “French” bike part?

Every other part on my bike seems to just have a regular name. Fork, shock, handlebars, etc. but whenever I say “derailleur” I sound SO fancy! Maybe instead of packing trail snacks I’ll bring a charcuterie plate next time! 😂
