Can someone tell me the dimensions (length/width) of the rear rack on the RadCity ST?

Rad Power Bikes Classifieds / Small basket wanted
May 25, 2020, 09:17:31 AM
Just wondering if anyone has one they'd like to sell. They are currently out of stock and not back order-able.

Alternatively, anyone have any other suggestions for a similar basket? I purchased the small basket bag, so I'm looking for something that will accommodate that.

This is for use on a RadCity ST.

Thanks so much! Stay tuned, I'll be asking more. Appreciate your helpfulness--I love forums like this.

OK, that makes sense, but how do you use it? Does just go around the rim before the tube and tire go on the rim?

I'm awaiting shipment on the RadCity Step-Thru that is due to ship end of June. Meantime, I'm buying some tools and accessories just so I'll have what I need when it gets here. I haven't biked in DECADES, so everything is sort of unfamiliar to me. I ordered a couple of spare inner tubes (Kenda, correct size, same ones sold on site) on eBay (free shipping). When I opened the box, the tubes were inside, as well as some very long, flat rubber strip-loops. They are stamped with the size of the tube and have a single hole that looks like the valve stem would go through. Can anyone tell me what these are for? I could always ask the seller, but thought I'd ask here, first. I can post a picture if it's not clear what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

Hi, all, my name's Teri and I'm in South Jersey (right across from Phila). I just ordered a RadCity Step-Thru, which won't get here till late June, apparently. I'm in my early 60s, in good health but terrible shape in terms of exercise. Working from home hasn't been much of a change for me--I've worked remotely for over 8 years--but I at least used to enjoy getting out to travel and go to shows/concerts. I'm now finding myself pretty much glued to the sofa and need some exercise (and fun!).

I used to enjoy biking in my youth but it's probably been 30-35 years since I've ridden, and the terrain around here is hillier than I'd be inclined to struggle with. I just sort of stumbled on a video for the Rad Power Bikes, and after researching it, finally decided to go for it. There are some great places to ride around here--especially if I don't have to sweat the hills.

My brain sort of glazes over when I read about all the technical stuff, so there will be a bit of a learning curve there. I'm glad to find this forum where I can ask questions. I already got a quote from a local bike shop for assembly ($150), so I've got that covered. I ordered a few accessories and those are already shipped. I guess one thing we are all learning from the current experience is patience (hopefully!), so I'll just have to live vicariously through you nice people while I wait for my new toy.
