Anybody bought one and found the same?
For some reason, I cannot make that connection with one of these bikes. I just bought it locally for 100 smackeroos and, considering it's probable purchase date, it's in good nick.
It was to be my new shopper with front basket.
New pedals, tyres (32 size) for a comfortable ride with an elderly gel seat cover to gild the lily, and off goes.elderly me.
Turgid. Like riding through mud. Legs feel like lead, my passion evaporates like the early morning mist.
Could it be the new tyres? Rubber too soft, maybe, needing to bed-in like new car tyres sometimes seem to?
The other two bikes are fine. Both inspire me (or my legs) to do more, to go faster! Whether I'm on a diatance trip (anything over 5 miles lol) or a shopping/gym run) it's the same.
But my latest acquisition?
Can't get no . . . .satisfaction!
Never gets cleaned
