metaflower beats There are so many different upgrades that you can do with your bike! You can paint tires, change grips and so on. The last thing I did with my bike was put on this seat cover from https://dailysummitshop.com/products/premium-bicycle-seat-cover and to be honest I didn't even expect my bike to change so much! Firstly, it started to look much more stylish, and secondly, this seat cover is very soft and comfortable!
Thank you so much for such cool podcasts, I have been looking for them for a very long time and was very happy to find them! By the way, I recently thought about how to visually update my bike and make it a little more comfortable. Perhaps someone can advise something?
