Daily urban riding now a necessity
Hello from Boston. My new job requires me to take the commuter rail into Boston North Station, home of the famous Boston “Gahdin”. I need to get to Kendal/MIT from there which is currently an exhilarating 8 minutes up over the Charles River bridge. I’m loving my Moulton wanna-be (Z-Bike) which is a work in progress. I’m totally addicted to the acceleration you can get out of adult size gears on kiddie size 15” tires. But now I’m getting greedy. Huge brakes, gottum. Now I want speed, speed, speed !! Currently at 60/14 gearing, looking to get to 73/9. I’ll know the bike is complete when I won’t need to use the bike lane any longer
