Congratulation. It is always nice to pick up a new bike. Ride the bike for a while and you figure out yourself what is missing.

deleted Make some bungies for the front rack using road tubes with the valve cut off and the ends knotted, or spring for a cargo net. Also, clamp a stem and passenger handlebars onto the post for when you go cruising on Friday night. The headlight? If you have a front rack, you get extra style points for mounting it under the left side. Tail light: find a way to put it on the back of the rack in case you have a load or a babe back there. Old inner tube are good. Bungee cords with regular can scratch the paint. Bungee cords with carbiner hooks http://www.cargogear.com/OneItemInfo...rtnum=HICBUN32 did not quite hook onto my xtracycle tubes, so I took the cord around and hooked the carbiner on the bungee cord itself. Cargo nets work great. Motorcycle helmet cargo nets work good but might be a little on the small side. Automotive trunk cargo nets are quite a bit oversized. |
