If the Bike Fits

["2025-08-05"]

I've been riding (as an adult) for five years, and last week I finally took my bike to get it professionally fitted for my body. It feels like a brand new bicycle! I should have done this ages ago.

I've ridden ~100 miles with the Bryton Gardia R300L radar taillight, and these are my thoughts on it.
