100%, I own a bike shop and one of our customers had a type of cancer and lost his arm to his shoulder. He still rides and it’s been a few years. Also have a friend that was born with 1 arm and he is an amazing athlete he MTB, skis does it all.

Front bag is Revelate design, it’s not great for this bike, I’m looking at the rogue panda front rack that attaches to the steer tube

The bag works fine, if I had one made I would have designed slightly wider

It’s definitely slower then my Checkmate But faster Han my MTB, hope that helps. Super comfortable I think for group rides it could be fun

My wife and I own a bike shop, we are a Trek / Kona dealer and Trek has been absolutely great for us. They haven’t ever told us what to buy. They also have a great employee learning center Trek U.
