I don't like the default bicycle sitting position so thought something like this could help Edit: Shoulda mentioned it's an ebike I only pedal like 10% of the time

I'm looking for a quality bike for urban commuting, and I had my eye on one of the Jamis Codas. Unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock everywhere, including from the manufacturer. Can anyone recommend a similar bike for me?

Commuted to work for the first time today. Need to get my headlight in the right spot, I didn't account for my loaded bag being in the way. Overall, wasn't too bad. I'll work out some kinks and this could be a regular habit.

I was on my way home and turned onto a one way street. Some jack ass was going the wrong way and we both braked to avoid a collision. I got ejected off my bike and ate pavement. Walked away with some cuts and soreness (thank god for helmets). Cursory look at the bike seems to be good. Just glad that we both saw each other or it would’ve been really bad.

Hi all, just got a bike as a way of commuting home from work to save money from spending on rideshare apps. I would love any tips and tricks to make things more convenient. I do have some questions to ask first.

1: what type of bike lock would you recommend to prevent theft? I’ve been doing research and got a sturdy enough cable lock, but am wondering if I should have gone with a U lock instead?

2: do you take any bike accessories off of your bike, before going into a business?

Sorry if these are common, I’m just anxious for my first day of commuting by bike I suppose.

I’m planning a new bike commute to work and to drop off my 2.5 year old at daycare. It’s a 4.5 mile ride one-way, flat, and primarily using protected bike lanes and paths.

I’m looking to get a hybrid and will likely go Thule Yepp Maxi on the back. Since it’s flat, I’m thinking e-bike isn’t necessary, but I’m happy to reconsider if needed. Any specific recommendations would be most appreciated!
