Most models are about the size of a vintage Schwinn or a small motorcycle. Rad offers 15 types of frames in four categories: utility bikes, which can carry up to 275 pounds Urban Commuter, more of a traditional bike and the lightest of the models and the Off Road, modeled after a mountain bike, with larger tires that have more tread and a suspension fork in front. Under a tent in the parking lot, customers can sign up for a test drive and tool around in the lot itself or, for the more adventurous, on the street. Rad’s cavernous building doubles as a showroom and repair shop, with a staff of 25 to keep things running. Not surprisingly, e-bikes have become hugely popular among seniors, the majority of customers at the store the day I visited. While some e-bike customers just ride for recreation, many use the two-wheelers - beefier than bicycles and souped up with an electric assist - as an eco-friendly alternative to a car.

If you have a buddy helping you, get them to measure from the floor to the top of the book spine while you hold the book in place. This may be a bit awkward, but is way more comfortable - and safer! - than trying to ride a bike that is too big. Slide the book upwards towards your groin until it is solidly against your body. Place a hardcover book against the wall with the spine of the book facing upward. Wearing your regular riding shoes and with your back to the wall, stand with your feet spread so there is about 7 inches between them - this is about the distance apart your feet would be when straddling a bike with your feet on You’ll use this number on the chart to get a feel for how the different models will fit you. This will typically be an inch or two longer than the length of your trousers, but you’ll want to measure to be sure. Your “bike inseam” - or inside leg length - is the distance between your body where it sits on your bike saddle and the ground.
