Not by choice mind you. What happened was the leg being lifted up from the ground accidentally kicked up the pedal and folded it. Hence, I was forced to ride one legged while trying to bring back down the pedal. Unfortunately, on the Abrams, this is not so easy to do, since the pedal folded up quite flushed to the body. So I had to ride slowly to a safe spot to stop, and bring back down the pedal by hand. Lol. Dang, the Abrams would be the last wheel I’d pick to do some impromptu one legged riding. Nice! 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 After trolleying the wheel, I usually freemount with one pedal still folded. But when the free pedal has folded up accidentally and I didn't notice it's still quite a challenge to adjust and the result is not entirely predictable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
