I was trying to start the corsa with my Raptobike method and really had trouble with the gear I was in. I have to be in one of my lowest gears to overcome static friction and get moving. But that doesn't seem the case on my raptobike. I can start even in the highest gear if I want to.<br /><br />I used to count inability to carry the laptop as a bonus. But with the longer commute there are days I want to work from home, and having the laptop is a good thing for that.<br />-DuncanDuncan Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363433039416687609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628825773731306817.post-67999187519468050662009-10-19T13:24:29.929-07:002009-10-19T13:24:29.929-07:00What makes the starts on the Raptobike easier than...What makes the starts on the Raptobike easier than the Corsa?<br /><br />Are you sure the inability to carry your laptop isn't a bonus? :PRussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02292873423927609760noreply@blogger.com
