Tires - fat, smooth, low pressure tires work best. The knobbies produced too much vibration for me. I have a pair a schwalbe 2.125 big apples which I am running at 20 psi, and are much better. 3 Ride slow. 4. Pull a trailer. So even though I have some limitations, I have found ways to get around them and still ride, which I am loving.
I was wondering if anyone else was riding with physical challenges; and more specifically, how you've adapted how you ride, and what kind of changes you've had to make to your equipment to stay biking. Maybe by sharing our success stories, we can keep more people out on the roads and trails.
