![]() ![]() When I searched on Twitter I found my follow-up commentary, which I deliberately kept separate from the original thread with That Person because trolls gonna troll. It was almost exactly a year ago that I had that exchange with the angry biking musician. Plus he only plays one instrument and I play two.- Barb Chamberlain November 19, 2022 Turns out he searches out uses of that phrase and jumps on others too. Got lambasted by a bicycling musician who wanted to mansplain at me. I referred to traditional bicycles as “acoustic” in a discussion of e-bikes. i think mine is when somebody told me i was rich and privileged for saying back service corridors at malls are scary at night when i was in the service corridor bc i worked there What’s the funniest thing someone’s ever gotten mad at you for on here. A recent tweet asking the funniest thing anyone ever got mad at me for on the platform reminded me yet again of this wording question. On Twitter (RIP) I’ve read and used a variety of terms. If it isn’t an e-bike, what term describes the bicycle that doesn’t have an electric pedal-assist motor? MSRP $750.Ask someone what kind of bicycle they have and they may describe it as a road bike, upright or city bike, gravel bike, mountain bike, family bike, cargo bike, fat bike, trike or tricycle–the list goes on, and for most of these it may also have an e-assist so it’s an e-bike. There are holes on the others for mounting a kickstand, but they didn’t have them included. These pictures don’t do this blue color justice…it’s a beautiful cornflower/baby blue in person. It uses the same big handlebar as the 02, and it adds a kickstand. The top-of-the-line Daily 01 gets an 8-speed internally geared hub with full chainguard and fenders. ![]() For most people, they’re probably adequate, though. The brakes are a little weak, but they are traditional road calipers, so you could put stronger brakes or better pads if you get serious about whipping around town at speed. The steering is quick thanks to a very upright, steep headtube, and it was fun. Like all the other Globe bikes, the headbadge is empty and lets you put your own artwork in there. I rode an XL Daily 02 about six miles over rolling bike paths and it was pretty sweet. Could have just been loose, but we’d still like to see the wood offered, at least as an option. Their product manager says they did it for eco reasons, but on a couple we rode there was a bit of rattling on one of them. Actually, for 2011, all Globe models are moving to aluminum trays to replace the better looking wood ones (our opinion). The handlebars are a bit bigger and taller, it keeps the full fenders, but uses a small rear rack with aluminum tray. The Daily 02 uses a traditional rear derailleur with a cuff protector chainring, and it upgrades to metal pedals. ![]() On the flats, though, it seemed to be just right. For hilly terrain, the gearing was a little steep for the climbs and a little quick for the descents…which is typically the case with singlespeed bikes. My friend Joseph rode this one and really enjoyed it. ![]() I didn’t ask to confirm, but there are threads on the other side of the hub, so you can likely run it as a fixed gear, too.Ĭheck out the rest after the break, along with a little ride report of two of the models… Shown above, the singlespeed Daily 03 men’s bike gets full fenders, a large front basket and a full length chainguard. All of them have full alloy frames with internal rear brake cable housing, with the upper models getting alloy forks (the lower end Daily 03 gets a steel fork). Specialized’s Globe brand of city and commuter bikes introduced their new 5-bike series of upright cruisers called Daily.Īvailable in three men’s and two women’s models, their trim levels are primarily differentiated by the drivetrain, but each has unique cargo methods, too. ![]()
