My frankenbike in front of the tree that serves as my baseline, get-fit-ish standard for "I made it this far up the hill". First bike commute for me in Armidale by Martin Brummell, on Flickr First attempt to commute by bike, heck first real ride on a bike in 11 years. https://www.strava.com/activities/4169640435 Point and laugh at my gasping, feeble response to a short, lovely, commute.

LoudPipesSaveLives posted:That's a good idea, much better than my pool noodle idea! I might even have a couple of old aerobar clamps I could cut down... Counterpoint: pool noodles are some of the most versatile, uses-per-dollar things ever made. Hold your bag in position with a pool noodle, and in a few months it will solve some other completely unrelated problem for either you or somebody else (ideally somebody else you like, not, you know, some rear end in a top hat stealing your bike and using the pool noodle to make tainted drugs or something).

Yes, everybody should find a way to carry a pool noodle with them at all times. What if you encounter an ornery young goat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybjRWNmLdu4

How different-feeling are those two bikes to ride? It looks like your posture and overall body position would be similar, but the gear ratios are clearly quite different, and obviously the tires/wheels are going to make a difference. I'm just curious, at first glance those two bikes as pictured look remarkably similar but I expect the road bike is like twice as fast and four times as painful on a bump.

Get an orange collar for your dog, make it all match 100%. Very nice bikes. And a very fine doggo.
