The width of my palm is 5 1/8", but I think the major problem is the twisting portion of the gripshift is about 4" wide.

As much as I'd love to continue riding, our summers are rather short. Really, the weather is only decent from mid-May through mid-October, and I'm officiating football five days of the week from...

It sounds like you're wanting what I'm trying to get away from: a "comfort" bike. I have a Trek Navigator 200 and I'm trying to get away from the evil thing because it puts me in an upright riding...

The first problem I have with the Navigator is way too damned slow. I'm overweight, yes, but I'm also rather powerful in the legs. Oddly enough, my quads are screaming at me every time I ride that...
