Most people in America overlook the practical utility of bicycles. I need to sell all of mine and keep my Fisher. I have a commercial work stand and the tools needed to DIY. I never took it to the shop.
Ive used my wifes old walmart bike like a wheelbarrel by sitting stuff on the seat and just pushing it

That's a great idea, thinking outside of the box.
Repurposed for multiple uses. If someone lived close enough , had paniers, basket and or rear rack, that's as much space as a lot of car trunks.

I have an e-Trike waiting to be assembled. I crashed my two wheeler twice in a month and my body is complaining. It can carry 50 kg on the rear carrier, so I'll be riding to the shops often. I'm looking forward to it. I have a Marin to sell if any aussie is interested...........

Glad you walked away from those spills.
Around here there are trees everywhere, so mountain biking is high risk. I know how that feels.
I've never seen an e trike. I hope that's exactly what helps. Sounds like it would serve well as a hauler.

e-trikes are not common, but there are more around than a couple of years ago. It's a long way removed from what I had as a kid. 4" wide tyres for a start.

Ive seen a e trike riding around a small town near me. It had a basket for groceries. Pretty nice.

My main concern is how wide the track is at the back. It will make passing parked cars interesting. I avoid the road where I can but that's not always possible.

Having knee pain so I had to start taking the glucosamine stuff. Haven't taken any in a long time but it always seems to work.

I've been taking it recently. I have also suffered from a dry mouth. I wonder if it's related? It has yet to help. It's expensive here so I hope it works.

It takes about 2 weeks for it to start really helping. I can feel a difference already and I haven't hit the 2 week mark so I guess its going to be alright. I hope it gets better for you soon.

I'll be patient. I have about 160 pills to get through, so we will see.

Have you noticed cartilage restoration from this brand?

I see now that you have after reading the next post.
That's great effect for such a small amount of money. I'm sure some surgeon would tell you that it's no good, placebo or could kill you.
As far as I'm concerned that beats a hip replacement any day of the week 365.

About 2 weeks you say?
Maybe I should give it a try.
I severely damaged my knee as a teenager (if I remember correctly, and assuming what the Dr.s told me was correct I damaged/lost all cartilage in that knee) , and the older I get the more it likes to remind me of why I'm not as active as I'd like to be. :confused:
Maybe this could help.

I did too. I was involved in a high impact sport that was improperly taught. That with malnutrition caused serious knee injury for years. I know how painful that can be.
THe temptation is to get talked into surgery, which doctors I know say is ineffective.
THe other way Drs of ilrepute direct people is with steroid injections. They further damage the tissue while deceiving patients that they are getting better because of temporary pain relief. The same goes for pain relieving/ anti-inflammatory drugs.
It's like removing the battery from the smoke alarm while the toast burns. It never solves the problem. The problem gets worse until they sell you on the high dollar items.
