I just started cycling again for the first time in about 10 years by taking my new-to-me cargo bike to the grocery store. Went pretty well, aside from my horrid conditioning. My quads were really sore afterward but my glutes weren't at all. Is this normal or does my seat need to repositioned?

Sounds like a real jackass. Have you told them to stop loving with your bike?

Any recommendations a smartphone handlebar mount that's good for taking horizontal videos? Shopping around, the vast majority seem like they would block my camera when sideways and the rest don't seem to be good quality.

Not sure about that one in particular, but Priority seems to have a good reputation for its standard bikes. Supposing they put a good motor and battery on an already good bike, it should be a good e-bike

I managed to replace the internally routed rear brake cable on my bike, but the grommets are a bit warped and I don't think they'll go back in. How bad would it be for the aluminum frame if I just omit the grommets?

My cargo trike has oddly thick 34mm handlebars. They're the same diameter top to bottom. Any recommendations for a bell that'll fit?

Yes, but it's actually two bars that go down and connect to a steering linkage underneath.

I replaced the chain on my bike which has front and rear derailleurs. Now I'm unable to shift through the gears the way I was before. I have a hunch that the chain is the wrong length, but I threw out the old chain so I can't compare. How can I be sure of the proper length without having the old chain for reference?

Anyone ever use your bike to pick up takeout, especially a big pizza? I think a trailer is the way to go, but I don't want to overlook a less cumbersome option.

If you want low maintenance without the chore of fixed gear, consider a hub gear. 7 speeds is enough for pretty much anything. Also consider a belt drive bike, which eliminates the chain hassle.

I got myself a Brilliant L-Train a couple months ago and it seems I've managed to bend the front wheel. Is that the sort of thing to repair or replace? Is there any reason I shouldn't get a dynamo wheel to replace it?
