I'm constantly looking back while riding. Yes, there's a lot of nice year round riding in California. I use the Race Icon Bike Helmet Mirror which is great. Lots of adjustability, and it really does offer a lot of situational awareness.

What a beautiful ride and great incentive for me to get better Clearwater Beach is very close to where I live and easily accessible if I took a little extra time off for lunch Well done, Marty. Thanks for always sharing with us even if it detracts from your enjoyment of writing having to hold that selfie stick and GoPro 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do try an limit these lunchtime breaks to once a week :-) Unfortunately @Sidestreet Reny is a few hundred miles away in the northern section of the state. If that place was empty I would be tempted to see if you can ride a wheel in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great video and music is one of my favorites of all time All three wheels have nearly flat tires, however Not sure you realize that I'm sure they can all use a good 20-30 psi increase sorry to notice even more sorry if i am wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snurre Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Nice video, @logos122. What is your experience with that Msuper seat,? Is it practical? I'm not sure that it is very comfortable for people around 6ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that it is very comfortable for people around 6ft. I just got the msuper3s+ and the seat today, so I only have a little bit of riding experience with it. When my feet starting hurting today, I did use the seat for a couple minutes and my feet did feel better. It is pretty low for me at only 5'7" and you feel/look kind of silly doing it. I think the seat on the gotway monster would be the perfect height. Edited November 12, 2016 by logos122 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever thought of maybe organizing a Ride and Learn class in your area? I've been tempted to maybe do something on weekends, but I don't know if there's enough interest in my area. I have my generic wheel still, but it just sits there since I ride my Ninebot mainly. I was thinking if someone wanted to learn, I could offer some guidance, but I would prefer if they had their own wheel to beat up on though. Maybe in a larger centre there are more people trying to learn and offering a group gathering to help teach might be an idea. Hard to say though since I think a lot of people would prefer to learn on their own as there's a lot of embarrassing crashes that are usually involved. In Hirsute's case, it looks like he is doing an advanced trick riding class rather than the basics so there likely is more interest in that. Sometimes though having a club might help draw interest and bring people with a common interest together. I like how you have been making the effort to organize group rides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do basics with a group on the morning, and advanced trick riding the afternoon with an other group. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
