Does it get in the way of pedaling during mountain biking? Is it too wide?

at times i can feel the front edge of the seat on the backside of my upper legs. if i slide forward a little it diminishes. it may be a little wide but it's not as wide as other seats in its class.

I would say that it does not get in the way. In matter of fact, I ordered another seat for my mountain bike.

Probably not. I have a pretty upright mountain bike, and it takes all the space between my legs - and I'm tall on top of it.

I have not used this mount while mountain biking - hopefully other folks will be able to help.

Yes indeed! I have a Trek Mountain Bike and it fits wonderfully! I absolutely LOVE this basket! It's frame and base is made of strong metal wire and it holds a fair amount of "stuff". When at the beach I ride to the grocery store and unhook it(EASY!) and bring it in and fill it up and pay for it and ride it home!!! I also love the fact that it "looks" like wicker but is made from a strong resin material that will withstand weather and years! The only problem I've had with it is when i take it for a ride without much weight in it, like just a jacket and/or sunglasses...if I go over a bump it has, on occasion unhooked itself from the frame...not a problem anymore as I have attached a few twisty-ties to secure the handles down....This is a tad expensive..but...so totally worth it!!

It is roomy but my instinct says no. I haven't tried it because I only have one bike. The beauty is, you can buy one and see if it works, then if not buy another.

Hi Heather - it is really comfortable, and doesn't dig in. I have a bit of a butt and the seat is wide at the back and narrow at the front - so its perfect. And its cushy as well! Sometimes I find myself slipping forward though that could just be my riding style!

I am 6'5" 250 so no problem fitting you, but I would look elsewhere for a good exercise bike. As I type this my wife is using it and it makes a knocking sound at every pedal stroke. I put it together very carefully and I would say this is worth half of the price. Also, pedals too wide for serious bikers.

It does open quite wide...so if would guess so. I use it for my Trek mountain bike and my giant composite road bike...

I think so, I am really skinny so this bike is way too big in width but still, very comfortable. If you are bigger person, then this bike will fit you better, I think.

i have Trek Wahoo with disc brake. With this kick stand, it gives about an inch clearance from the edge of disc. I mean it's not bothering anything of disc brake of my bike. I think it has enough play to adjust even with other 29ers with disc brake.

Have you tried this product yet for cycling? I'm getting this as a gift for a cyclist...

It depends on how it fits. It was bad on my bike. I was practically sitting on my kid's lap. When I would pedal I would end up hitting his feet. Maybe your seat and pedals are further away and it won't happen to you?

I did not have that problem on either of the bikes I used it on. One has cantilever brakes, the other has side pull types. The tapered bottom of the bag keeps it out of the way.

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!

Not sure what the measurement is of your bike? On a standard mountain bike, the handle bar area is pretty snug. It wouldn't take anything much wider than that.

No. I've never had that problem. But bikes can tend to swing when you're driving on highway. As long as you secure your pedals you'll be ok.

I did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.
