Even though the bike does not provide metrics, there’s nothing keeping you from pedaling along to a video class. More-experienced riders can follow an instructor’s leg speed schwinn tricycle and adjust the… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame

A technician was able to quickly fix the problem with a set of new pedals (the company’s troubleshooting advice didn’t work in our case). For greater specificity, we wish the cadence (rpm) showed… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame

Schwinn Traxion is an absolute beast, and this bike has some excellent capabilities. Unlike the other bikes above, this is a full-suspension mountain bike and not only has front forks… Continue reading Ignaz & Frank Schwinn Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame
