LOL. Me too. My 2900 is long enough to drag/roll at least one a month.


  Thank you Ron!

My first Phoenix Cruiser, a PC2100, taught me lots of things.  The bone rattling sound of the frame dragging while traversing slight inclines quickly became indelibly etched in my frontal cortex.  Hence, my handle "TAILDRAGGER'

I'm old.  I'm very careful.  I'm still capable of anticipating hazards by looking ahead and avoiding road hazards.  But, it seems impossible to navigate without digging into terra firma. 

I installed a version of the rear training wheels that include roller bearings to align the wheel with the hazard.   Plus, they protrude into the threat a little more than the flat mounted alternative
