Most cloggy bikes are too high for me or the frame too big.
The cloggies don't go in for fancy bikes, they are a functional thing to get you from a to b.
Sorry to disappoint.
Have to also purchase some panniers.Comment

Mind you, I wouldn't recommend the saddle as it's such a personal thing; some people hate it, others love it, and it seems that goes for pretty much any saddle.
I´ve never done the vaseline or cream thing though and haven't found it necessary, but I do wear a clean pair of shorts and fairly tight synthetic undies every time I ride, and I mean I'm religious about hygiene in that area as I don't want any of those nasty tunneling sores that some cyclists get.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 15 April 2014, 08:01.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Was wondering about tubes etc - haven't been putting those through, but suppose I should.Comment

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostA noob mistake is to have the saddle much too low. Stand next to the bike, and nose of saddle at top of the arse-crack is a good starting height. Means you're less likely to bugger your knees.
Its taken me this long to find a bike that was right and that I could get my feet to the ground on. Cloggies are pretty tall.
My knees are fecked anyway from 15 years of competitive athletics.Comment
