Re numb hands.

Driving a car, do you get numbness?

If not, I suspect it is the angle at which your hands are resting.

Ten to two, or quarter to three seem comfortable and of course do not take any weight.

Flat bike bars on the other hand require an unnatural position, drop bars generally mimic the quarter to three position.

 

Of course ergonomics do not come into play in car design so what do we know...

Hi

I have both and they both have a purpose for various tasks

As for comments when riding an ebike well basically i couldnt give a toss what anyone thinks about it

And when im at the top of the next descent fresh and ready whos the fool , its no worse than using an uplift

I do use the ebike on the road as well but mainly on eco and i do tend too be above the cut off most of the time

As for the normal bike thats great too and i enjoy it just as much i also tend too use it more in the rain than the ebike

Happy pedaling whatever it might be on

Trying to find a photo earlier, I came across another of my favourite bike. The superb Ultra 1964. This bike is just so much fun to ride.

 

If all of my bikes were to disappear tomorrow, this is the one that I would miss.

will do next time I'm out its gets cleaned too much at the moment you know what it's like when there new :-)

I just finished my winter project, Santa Cruz Heckler with 27.5 plus tires. Fun bike and feels so light and nimble compared to my KTM :-)

 

Good times ahead on trails and hard times choosing what to ride.

 

I'm still swinging both ways..... as i still haven't yet decided whether to fit an ekit to my Giant road bike. Although it hardly gets used compared to my hybrid bike that does have an ekit fitted to it.
