@Slotown posted:@henrypretz, no what you see is what we have. After 25 years of not riding my son got us back into it. These are gravel bikes. I don't ride on gravel but the larger tires give a 'easier' ride for these old bones (70 years old).
I did noting to the hitch. It's rated for 300lbs. With rack and bikes I think I tip just a bit over 100lbs. I have ordered a cover. I suspect in rain it will get pretty dirty back there.
Props to you for getting back on the bike! (and great that you are doing it together!) The fatter tires and lower pressures we ride on today's gravel bikes do a great job as "suspension" for our aging selves. Don't rule out getting out on the "gravel" (aka dirt roads 😊). Far less traffic and generally prettier scenery than you see on the roads.
Here are some pics from one of our recent rides
