Does it get in the way of running? I hate it when my elbows hit the bottles. Any reason it would be uncomfortable while riding/running with horses?

The water bottles don't hit my elbows and I have long arms. I couldn't tell you about riding I don't ride with them.

Turn the bottles so they curve in - then you won't hit them. A bit harder to pull out while running but not a big issue.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

Also, unless you really want to fold your 60 plus pound bike in half, scratching everything, huffing and puffing because you forgot to take the battry off... Etc. Get the Prodeco withOUT the hinged frame.... Ive since stopped playing that game. Ive rode over 2,000 miles on my Prodeco and after time, the bike will shake and vibrate unless you take the time to screw that hinge shut. It to me, is more of an inconvenience than an asset. Happy trails

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

No. Mine doesn't really move either. But since I'm not real sure what it's suppose to do, I just leave it alone. The bottle still works great without it

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

I can't stand up and pedal on mine; it didn't feel sturdy when I tried. However, one style of riding I've used is similar to running while seated. I can pump my arms and legs in a running style, all the while seated. I've ridden over 400 miles now and love the convenience to exercise in my home.

Hi, I didn't feel any grittiness at all. I'm not sure why you would feel something gritty, but perhaps you have a bad bottle and should return it.

I think the clip making it travel is maybe why they call it that.. It does have a faster flow, it also angles it to be more like a sippy cup..angle is better than a normal bottle. But i wouldn't use it for too much longer after a year if you are trying to get them cup trained..this is more for when you've moved them to that higher flow and bigger bottles..bought for my daughter cause i bought winnie the pooh everything as i could. its got a good price.

The upper (forward) handle bars can be left off. I only use them to hang my headset on when I'm not riding. I find the lower handles more comfortable while exercising.

Really need to sit down, I tried to stand and pedal so i could answer this question. The knees hit the handle bars and it would be just very uncomfortable.

It doesn't roll well on rough surfaces with the gas bottle installed because of small casters. If you have to roll it a sizeable distance on a bad surface, I would remove the bottle first.

I did not buy mine on line so it may very. When I had my horses I would stay on them for 6 to 8 hours. I have R.A. I could not feel the impack when my horse went to a gallop. You have to make sure that you have the right pad and cinch for horse and the saddle in the right area on the horse. The saddle does give a little for horse comfort but don't over cinch or pinch the nerve. Allow for breathing room. I have worked and study in and as Animal Control person. I do care for the animals well being. Happy Trails TO YOU!

Organic vapor cartridges ought to stop that, yes. I have only used it for lacquer paints but I can tell you it gives me close to 100% protection in some pretty chemically hostile environments. It does a decent job of holding to your face when you move, and it puts up with mild facial hair. I have never worn it while running. Also I wouldn't use this for any type of 'tactical' event since it's not hard to have this come lose. It's made for painters / chemists / etc.

I don't have this problem, so I can't help you. I empty the bottle immediately after each ride and leave the top off until I fill it again. I also never close the valve, since the bottle sits upright in my bike rack holder.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't to Thick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

I put my arm in a sling and if I held the bar infront of me instead of the side handles I had no problems. Just start out slow and a good pace walk was no problem.. I'm 65yrs.old. Good Luck hope you heal soon. :)
