I don't even have kids and still found myself watching the whole video. Also, the lineup of those four kids at 0:48 reminded me of a cassette. I think I'll start referring to that kid that rode for the Cervelo test team as 'granny gear'.

Nice Video. I found myself struggeling with finding a bike for my size (I'm about 1,60m, or 5'30") as an male adult. Finally, in 2015, I found the Genesis Col Du Glandon (Version 2014) with 650b wheels in my local bike shop. It was perfect from the beginning. Since then, I take cycling more serious, with longer tours and better equipment (and watching GCN ;) ). The market for short people is pretty comprehensible in my opinion. Islabike is a good example for doing things right. Another approach for me are women-specific bikes, which don't come with lilac and/or flowers. I really enjoy this development and I'm looking forward for the things to come.

Growing up in Soviet Russia we didn't have much selection for the sizes, so after a toddler bike we would just ride our father's adult bike by threading one leg into the front triangle under the top tube, and standing up on the pedals. Any of you guys can relate to that?
@wallacedavidg7 жыл бұрын
Sort of ... we got one bike while growing up and it was supposed to last until we moved out of the house. When we turned 10 or 12 dad bought us all 26" Schwinn 3-speed (Sturmey Archer) bikes with the riser style handlebars (lots of sweep). Mine lasted through college. Don't think I ever replaced anything but the brake pads.

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
