    Anyone with a bike needs it to fit. You wouldn’t wear ill-fitting shoes, would you? I see way too many people, especially uber eats riders, riding around with their seat way too low. I feel sorry for their knees.

        Not to mention the under-inflated tyres, and people riding bikes that are obviously way too small for them. At least they’re on a bike and not in cars, and the low-seat uber eats riders are usually on e-bikes, so they’re probably not putting too much stress on their knees, but still…
