Steve Cole, I’m surprised no one has had our same complaint as well. But I
think it might be one of those things you always struggle with but never
actually realize can be improved. Or maybe it’s something one dismisses because
one is accustomed to putting up with it.
Either way, I’m pretty

I was struck by your description that, "The sun comes down into my eyes
from the top of the glasses, and I don’t want to put up with it anymore. At
least not on my bike." I'm surprised that no one has commented on this.
I've worn glasses now for half my life. When I wear only my clear
Hi folks, I’ve recently sold a few bikes and am looking for a tall Riv to rule
them all. The old-style Atlantis is the one I still haven’t ridden, and I’d
really like to try it. Let me know if you have any leads or a few extra tall
drinks of water in the stable.
Thanks,
Reid in Austin

Dear Leah,
Iuse these in a sunglass version as well. I think they cost about $8, and are
available with brown/bronze lenses, shooter's lenses (amber/yellow), and grey.

Rayban Wayfarer. I started wearing them in cyclocross races. I like them
over cycling specific glasses because they don't fog up when it's cold, and
they are comfortable for me.

I use these:

and find them frequently on eBay for less than half the retail price.
They are “men’s” but my wife wears mine so often I am getting her some for an

All I can say is get these and you will be happy. The come in different
combos. Myself have the one with the light rust colored lens and it's the
only one I've worn, I like it so much. Even in full sun. No everything
doesn't look orange, it's very light and it enhances greens and browns

I'm already an Oakley fan and you already know this so this is kinda for you
but mostly for everyone else to be blessed with my fanboi fandom.
"Roadie robot" looks might be a little jarring for the committed Just Rider,
but function is everything in a cycling shade: They need to be light enough

I've never had a pair of Oakley glasses that weren't good. Oakley, to me,
is worth the extra money. I posted a similar question here in the past
couple months and my man Joe Bernard hooked me up with THREE pair of
Oakley. I gave two of them to my sons and kept the EV Zero. They have good
Check out Smith glasses with interchangable lenses. Also, I have always
found yellow lenses better for low light conditions than clear since they
seem to increase contrast.

The comments section of that thread also lists the pros and cons of a
trailer from a lot of different POVs, like peace of mind having something
trailing behind you so far, better for younger kids who will inevitably
fall asleep on longer rides. Anyway, i'll shut up and I promise i'm not a
Ah, gotcha. The removability is obviously not an option here.
I wasn't showing you that bike for the yepp seat they have on it. It just
hit a few of your other points, like able to go off road and handling the
weight. I've seen 3-4 kids on the back of an xtracycle, and am also
considering one
I typically don't lock up my Riv but I also don't ride it much due to my riding
being mostly utilitarian these days. My Bromptons get the most use and those go
into businesses with me. When I need to lock up my E-bike I use a Kryptonite
NYC chain for the frame and a cable lock for the wheels.

David,
I bought a burley dlite off Craigslist for $100. I haul my groceries more than
my grandkids but it works fine for both.
My daughter bought a burley encore. It has many nice features for collapsing

I believe they state that you should wipe down your chain after every ride which would keep the chain cleaner. I never do that and only wipe down the chain when I re-lube the chain. I just checked the chains on a couple of bikes that haven't been re-lubed in a while and the chains are still
Yeah, I think a folding bike would be nice.

Did they all have eyelets on the front of the fork under the bake posts?

Michael,
Thanks for the link - neat bike. In my case though, I already have a Yepp
seat setup, but my oldest is reaching the weight limit for the seat itself
- not sure I want to push that limit at all, which is why I'm looking
specifically for a trailer. And also wanting something that can be

Hang in there. They seem to go in spurts, so nothing now definitely doesn't
mean never.
I speculate that being hard to replace hinders folks inclination to decide
to sell theirs. But when they see one offered, they think maybe I should
sell mine too.

Eric,
If you keep striking out in your search, Universal Cycles sells Sugino left
side arms $26 - $31. Unfortunately they’re out of stock at the moment:-(
Hopefully Bill’s will work.
