Our first Rad ride together was today. We had a warm spell with rain and lots of wind, which cleared the snow and ice off the nearby (only 230 meters away) trail, a former railbed.
Weather conditions were: temperature +1oC, wind SSW 19 km/h gusting 31, mostly clear.
Right: my wife's RadMini ST2, which we had bought from a friend for CAD$1200 in early September, I think. The previous owner had only 10 km on the odometer.
Left: my RadExpand 5, brand-new, arrived Dec 6. The rear rack-top bag was one I found on one of our long-unused acoustic bikes. The straps did not fit, hence the bungee cords for now. I'm going to extend the strap with 3 inches of webbing salvaged from a broken folding camp chair and re-sew the velcro strips 3" along the new end.
