Aunty? You sure you're on the right saddle? That looks suspiciously like a saddle designed to suit the pelvic architecture of a man person ...

 

[Aunty Tyke]

looks a very comfortable bike,nice narrow tyres too...i bet she sails along

I was a bit apprehensive thinking the tyres would have no grip and feel like I was on ice,crazy,tyres just fab,boy I can go faster

Now that's a thought,rather numb delicate regions,but it is a lady's saddle,will see how it goes!

Brilliant beginners coaching session,much better foot and hand position,gear use, love my Liv!

the positioning of that rear blinker just irks me. You need to put one of them on the otherside to balance it out.

Not as much as the angle, will it really be visible to following traffic?

Thanks appreciated,will check the positioning

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Thanks appreciated,will check the positioning

They ought to be vertical, so as to be seen ('ditto' any other lights/reflectors)

Far better to be (the proverbial) safe than sorry

If it comes to the worst (I hope it doesn't, & that I'm not tempting fate!), it'd give extra 'wiggle room' for a drivers insurance company; alleging that the lights couldn't be seen properly

I'd stick a light on the saddle bag too

Now have 2 more lights on rear bag,wore Astro turf football boots to cycle in,just have plain pedals,brilliant,getting more out of the gears,whizzing down the hills with a huge grin

Furthest so far, 32.3km,nice coffee at The Barley Mow,Clifton Hamden,Oxfordshire,surprisingly got a bit chilled

Mmmm seriously rethinking the saddle, legs can go further,but my poor seat
